Getting closer HOORAY to OVER With
So they have everything from here blood,echos all stuff my Family
Doc has faxed them in past weeks.They have all my files from first
aortic surgery and cath 16 years ago,they have all paper work copies
pretaining to the anticoagulant difficulties upon cyst removal in past.
All copies of my endocaditis from 2006.
Now they are going to evaluate everything for my cardiac surgery.
I have a pulmanary test here on Monday at 10:00 am that test
result will be faxed to them.
Now the assessment and plan is as follows:
Theyve determined i am high risk surgery and need to evaluate
with family history that my coronary arteries are clear as they were
16 years ago ,that was my last cath. A tranessophagel echo is in
the plan also,the fasting lipids have already been done here last 2
weeks and that was sent fax some time ago by my Dr.here.
So because i'm from a far distance away they want to arrange for
all the investigations and clinic visits to be done at once.
Because of the complexity of my situation with anticoagulation
for both my mechanical valve,and my atrial fibrillation and now my
mitral stenosis.
I need to be worked up with appropriate bridging by iv
heperin
the
is oh my veins are bad and hurt.They say i am high risk
and they feel that doing it with enoxaparin wouldnot be ideal for me.
Therefore guys i need to be admitted for these tests and they are
working on the arrangements. They also in their investagations want
to make certain that a double valve replacement isnot needed.
all they have are 2 echos which definately shows a need for mitral
change from native to mechanical and they need to get a closer look
at the aortic mechanical to determine if i will need 2 valves done at
this time or one,this definately sounds wonderful to my ears,i'd hate
to replace one,then only down the road do it again. I say get it all
done if needs to be done.They will confirm my history,and physical
as well as medications when i am able to meet with these Drs which
i'm betting will be real quick and this is why i won,t have a surgery
date cus they already have to admit me for the tests.
Well any feedback any suggestions,im not scared,not nervous
surely the tests i know what im up against the surgery not knowing
fully what has to be done yet,till tests complete...so far maybe
its good i don,t have a date till i get there and don't have all the
answers till i'm there.....But i do feel a tear wanting to roll now
but thats okay
i'm still smiling even though i have to be put in early
the heparin drip and probally won't get out till all is said and done.
i'm sure they will book me quick after the test monday here for
pulmanary.......But well let you all know when im leaving.
Now i do have 2 tears but still smiling
