Thinking of you today, Cactus52. Can't wait to hear what it feels like to be done with the fun part!

Why thank you ShezaGirlie! Do you have a date set yet? I'm ready!

Keep us posted so we can toast you from afar! I have my surgery this Wednesday so I'm enjoying a little imbibing until then.

I'll be recovering when you're going in so I'll be wishing you the best. My date is July 22. Here's to a successful surgery for you!

Thinking good thoughts for you @Cactus52 !

I appreciate this comment. As best I can, I would like to approach it all with a sense of curiosity. Looking at it with curiosity will help diminish my anxiety. Meditation continues to guide me through all of this. I'm so grateful for it. I'm also grateful for folks like you on this site.

Thanks for the kind words. Why was your surgery cancelled one hour before? That must've been a real head trip for you! Glad you got it done.

Very exciting! I guess we'll be recovering buddies. Do you already live in the area? If not, are you driving there? Crazy times but I'm sure they will keep us safe!

Good to know. I thought it might somehow be Covid related.

Hello all, Just thought I'd start a thread as I'm currently 11 days out from surgery. When I first got my surprise diagnosis of an aneurysm, followed by another surprise diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve (severe stenosis) more than a year and a half ago, it threw me for a loop. Since I'm...

I agree, cut out sugar and your numbers will improve. Shoot for low carb, real food. I've found the Diet Doctor site to be quite helpful.

My surgery is scheduled for July 22 so I'll be watching your recovery closely! Here's to a smooth recovery for you!

I was at CTVS today and have my surgery set for late July with Dr. Dewan. Thanks for the info. I'm familiar with Dr. Oswalt's name as well. Since scheduling I have a strange sense of calm. I go to the dentist for a cleaning tomorrow, which is not at the top of my list in this covid era but the...

I live near Heart Hospital too and I have aortic valve and aneurysm repair in my very near future too. May I ask who your surgeon was?

Thanks for the update! I don't have an opinion as to which direction to go for you. I was wondering how far ahead is your surgery and if you'll be doing it at the Heart Hospital? I meet with Dr. Dewan on Monday and I'm assuming we'll be moving forward. Kind of wondering if there's a backlog for...

I too read this article and immediately went to Amazon and saw many are sold out so I suppose we're late to the game. I did place an order for one that said it was 'fulfilled by Amazon.' We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear things are going well!

Glad to hear your update. I'm curious about your trip to the INR clinic. Did you really have to walk 6 miles to get there? How did they handle any lines or crowding once you arrived?

Safe and healthy travels to you!

That's great news. I believe you said you'd gone back to work. Given where you live, are they letting you telecommute?
