Ged1975- The worst part are the questions, the learning and the waiting- The people on this site have helped you with all the questions and now they will walk with you to the hospital the day of your surgery (they did it for me!!!!).

Ross, so sorry to hear about your dear friend Tbone. He was such an asset to this site and will be missed.

Welcome to the other side! I am away and having trouble staying connected to this site. Called the hospital to leave a message and couldn't get through. I promise that you will feel so much better each day. Hope that they throw you out of there soon!

Barbara-Happy 1st! I remember following your story last year and noted the great care you received at The Brigham & Womens Hospital-great referral for both my Cardiologist and my Surgeon!

My hospital, my Surgeon! They will take good care of you. Best of luck and see you on the other side.

Sending you the best

Heating pads and back massages-my new favorite things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good question! I had the same concerns. For me upon my discharge, the hospital scheduled an appt with my Cardio & EKG 3 weeks post-op, appt with my surgeon & chest x-ray 8 weeks post-op (its next week). I made the appt with my GP 3 weeks post-op (useless-I am now looking for a new GP) . My...
