Hello everyone,
Well, I had my cath today and they decided that I needed the mitral valve replaced asap....so they have kept me in the hospital for the surgery. Don't know when for sure yet, today (14th) or tomorrow (15th) I guess. Haven't seen the surgeon yet, just the two cardios, the one who did the cath and the one who is responsible for me here.

Of course the news put me in such a tailspin that I have been crying and put myself into mild CHF (an IV of 40mg Lasix has taken care of that!)

So, my next post might be that I have had the surgery.

Best to everyone.

Nan-

Wishing you all the best. I'm sorry this has happened so suddenly, but then it will be over sooner and you'll be on the road to recovery.

Wow, a head spinner. Well at least in your in the best possible place if they think it needs to be done this quickly. Must have some real good reasons for not cutting you loose.

I'll be praying and awaiting news.

Nan,

Might be a little hard to get your arms around this but at least they are paying attention to what you need done.

Praying for and thinking of you.

Godspeed.

You're in the best place to be, considering. Sometimes sudden is good, especially if you're getting attention. My prayers are with you.
