My surgeon's nurse called yesterday and asked me to move the surgery from Friday to Thursday. She said there was an emergency they needed the operating room for on Friday. My first thought (cynical side) was the surgeon wanted a three day weekend..... Anyway, I happily agreed just to get it done 1 day sooner! But that meant I had to scramble to get work done before being off a month.
I am surprisingly upbeat and feeling good this morning! I am having my last drink of water as I write this. By tonight, I will be "post-op" with a new aortic valve!!!
Thanks to all that regularly respond to this forum, it has been my main source of information from folks that have been there! Sometimes it has been scary, thinking of all the struggles some have been through, and also a picture of someone's chest open but it has been real and heart felt. Much appreciated!
