Go today for my 1st visit with the Surgeon

2 weeks before my surgery I asked for a low dose of Ativan to have "on hand" in case I freaked out. I never needed it, but felt better just having it in my purse.
My surgery was very early in the morning and I remember nothing. Good drugs.
When I woke up a day later, the neck line was gone, and so was the vent tube.

Sending all my best vibes to you, Valerie. Hang in there! It's hard being in the waiting room but soon enough you will be over the mountain.

Valerie, I had my AVR on Friday, Feb. 13 and told my husband I deserved a really great Valentine's gift also. So, in my opinion Friday the 13th is a good day. I was totally out by the time I got to the door of the pre-op area so don't remember a minute of the oper. room. Then I slept from Friday until Monday afternoon so also have no recollection of tubes, wires, etc. But when I finally did wake up I had a heck of a time keeping track of what day it was for about a week. All this passes, but do allow yourself time for recovery because it takes a while.

Keep smiling and have a soft, safe landing. Lots of prayers and good vibes will be coming you way.
