Well here I am back in the pre surgery part of the discussion boards. I had my annual echo done, and they said the regurge is off the charts on both my mitral and my aortic valves. I have to have them both replaced. The problem is, last time I was in Washington and had excellent doctors, and here in Hawaii, the hospital has a reputation for leaving surgical instruments, and for people dying either during or right after surgery. I am not ok with this! I guess I am a little scared this time because of this, and the fact that it is the second time, and I have to have two of them done this time. I don't know a time frame yet, so I guess I am in the waiting room for now....wish me luck!
