good on you Ged know exactly what you are going through its hard but we know it has to be done before damage is permanent, when i saw my surgeon back a few mnths ago and we discussed timing he said 3 -4 months would not make a great deal of difference in my case hope its the same for you

thanks for the replies i like the "If I operate on you 100 times I'll screw it up once." . i have a letter from papworth last week to shedule my surgery so will take your advice and ask the questions to the right people, thanks

my cath showed my pulmonary pressure as normal the echo had shown it to be high .but they still recommend surgery before any damage is done but are not rushing now so it did give me breathing space while the roller coaster slows for a while!

i was just like you scared stiff of the cath ,i had left /right cath through the groin and it was absolutely nothing to worry about it ,i had no sedation only local around the incision area laid flat after for a number of hours then went home had quite a bruise down my leg but all healed well...
