I have a surgery date! I am checking in to Cleveland Clinic on April 1, and surgery is scheduled for April 9. I am very relieved, and also very scared. I've not been on a heparin drip before (I used Lovenox for my other surgeries) so can anyone tell me--is it a constant drip, or can I be disconnected part of the time? Also, for any ccf alumns, will my sister be able to stay in the room with me, or should she plan on a hotel room? I am going to reread the threads pertaining to questions for the surgeon, and what to take to the hospital. I have always been told what a good listener I am--that's usually a good thing, but doesn't work well on a forum such as this. I don't post often, but I feel like I'm beginning to know some of you well from reading all your posts. Thank you again for the abundance of information and support on this site--you guys are awesome!
