Thank you for the good wishes! I am checking into CCF tomorrow, but my surgery may be before the 9th! I received a call from them yesterday instructing me to stop my coumadin immediately as they were going to try and do my cardiac cath before Wednesday, and the surgery sooner also. I think they were probably questioned by my insurance company about the need for the lengthy stay, and decided to speed things up a bit.
So, I may be over the mountain sooner than planned. Also, CCF has a "care page" type site where you can post your progress. It is at
