I just got done talking with the scheduler and will be having the surgery on the morning of the 25th of July at Kettering Medical Center.

If Maggie cut me any more slack I could expect her dress to get caught in the spokes.

The surgeon did say I will feel at least 10 years younger. Wonder if I should color my hair?

twhitaker · « **Reply #37 on:** July 25, 2016, 06:28:18 AM »

Surgery is scheduled for 7:15 Tuesday morning. Going in this evening. Thanks. Maybe they'll let me use an electronic device post surgery. If not, I will post status as soon as I can. I do appreciate all the positive posts and PMs.

best to you and hope it will be good news. I had a leaky valve and for years it remained stable then decided to fail. Surgery, as some have said, is pretty routine these days (mine was in 2001) and along with the recovery period back to "normal"should be an interruption but no biggy? depending.... For me, it began my examination of my failed immortality and invincibility and so brought me to a more accurate reality,...not a bad thing,..depending :laugh:Best wishes.

Color coding the hair, HDM sounds good; reroofing the house -better put that on hold for a while.

Best wishes Tuesday, hope your recovery goes swiftly.

I'm trying to figure out where I stand in the doctors priority. I got a call saying I'm rescheduled for August 5th.

Nurse said they got slammed with heart attacks and they are still working on emergencies.

I was told the hospital is a non profit so they are keen to reinvest in big construction of a heart hospital across the street.

My wife went thru this getting her artery(80% blockage) cleaned out going to her brain. Trust your Dr. Obviously others right now are in more critical condition than you.

If we hadn't both done a Life Line sonogram test paid for by us she might not be alive. My artery is 30% clogged which is considered OK.

Hopefully it doesn't get pushed off any further, but as Wayne mentioned, likely others are in greater need.

I can understand the rescheduling and they do prioritize but....... "They got slammed over the weekend." Somebody KNEW as early as Saturday that the rescheduling was going to happen yet she waited until 4 yesterday afternoon (just 4 hours before I was to be admitted) to let me know. ??? Some of my family took off work early and had already driven 2 hours here before they were told to turn around unless they wanted to spend two weeks in Dayton.

Think I might catch the flu a week from Thursday.

I survived the surgery with flying colors. Six hours surgery and eight hours recovery. Might be going home Tue.

Let me guess. Fried cheese sticks, fettucini Alfredo, and a double bacon cheeseburger with cookie-dough ice cream for dessert. Could be a "repeat business" thing, be careful!!

Heal well!

Had a heart catheterization a couple weeks ago. No blockages. He said my coronary arteries are incredibly clear.

He said my valve was badly calcified. Worst he d ever seen.

Good to hear - do everything you can, but don't insist on doing what you're not ready for...

When I get back from Europe I'm on the waiting list for atrial ablation. This sounds like fun! Not!

They stick a cannula up your femoral vein into the left atrium of your heart and then spear through the wall into the right atrium and stick a welding rod up and cauterise the atrial veins!

Oh let the joy be unconfined! It sounds disgusting! I have no desire to hear the gory details! Just do it and let me out!

Sounds like a walk in the park compared to your last session, which as I remember involved having your mansack sliced open and your remaining testicle being peeled like an onion down to the part that wasn't rotten and then sewed back up.

We were offered pictures but all 6,327 active WG members declined .....
