Wish Me luck
« on: June 04, 2012, 03:27:53 PM »
Tomorrow morning I go into the hospital for yet two more tests. One on my heart and one on my lungs. They are weighing the odds of my surviving the operation to replace my Mitral Valve. It's now no longer "if" they will replace the valve but now just a matter of how soon and yet have the odds favor me as much as possible. I think all concerned have agreed that the sooner the better before my health gets any worse. Tomorrow's tests will help set the date. My youngest daughter is home on leave from the Navy so her, my oldest daughter, and my son will all be able to be with me so I've lots of moral support. This surgeon is suppose to be top dog in the field so I'm lucky to have him. He will go in through my left side rather than opening my chest back up and so the operation is suppose to be way less stressful on my body. When they did the bypass both my lungs collapsed and just one of the things they are concerned about. Agent Orange was some nasty nasty stuff! He won't have to go through near as much scar tissue by going in through my side. I'm the kind of person that likes to get things behind me rather than have something hanging over my head so even though I'm pretty nervous about it I'll be happy to finaly have it done. Wish me luck?

Thanks everyone. Your kind words and prayers are much apreciated. The tests were rough but I'm doing fine. First tests I've ever had that have spells of amnesia as a side effect which was kinda wierd. The tests still show mixed results but the valve replacement is a must. I've got some dental problems that have to be taken care of first, because of the risk of infections, but they want to replace the valve before it or my health gets any worse. I have a lot of faith in this surgeon so I'm not sweating things. Trying to keep a positive attitude. Like I always told my kids, no battle is lost as long as you're able to keep fighting. :)
