I have had very low BP (83/63) shortness of breath and extreme fatigue and called my nurse practioner at Duke on Tuesday. They got a huge winter storm and was closed today so I left a message on her voice mail to call me tomorrow when they reopen and let me know what to do. She called me back after checking her voicemail and told me she had talked to him and he said that it sounds like I need the surgery alot sooner than when they thought and she will talk to the cardiac surgeon tomorrow and get me on the surgery schedule as soon as possible. I called her back and told her that if at all chance I wanted to wait until right after Christams and she said she will ask him tomorrow and get back with me. She said I would be eligable for the less invasive surgery but will have to sign release to do either/or.
Im scared but relieved in a way. I cant wait to get better! Im tired of being tired! I had to have an endoscopy this morning and it went well. I have GERD and Barretts esophagus so I have to get scoped every 2 years.
Thanks for all the encouragement and advise I got from all of you out there. Its appreciated very much!!
