Dr. Oury's office called today to let me know that I meet their criteria and am indeed a suitable candidate for a valve replacement, possible Ross, (I've not decided yet). They confirmed my Thursday 8/30/01 appointment for a consult with Dr. Oury.
I asked the woman on the phone what type of time-line I could expect for surgery once the consult is over. She told me they are prepared to to have me in for surgery as early as September 1 (that's THIS SATURDAY, folks!).
Of course, when you press any staff person other the the doctor himself for information, they realize they probably said too much already and suddenly become very closed lipped. That is what I felt from the phone conversation.
Here I thought I'd have at least 3 weeks after consultation to regroup before surgery. Now I'm not so sure I have that option. So rather, than freaking out and trying to get all the undone things finished before leaving in the car Wednesday for a 10 hour drive to Montana, I think I'll just......freak out anyway.
As Kathy the cartoon character would say, "Ackkkkkkkkkkkk!"
