My Date Is Set!!

[chadh]

All-

My valve replacement is scheduled for Tuesday, November 9th at 9am. Trying to stay calm, but I know that it is all in God's hands. This site has been an incredible resouce for the time leading up to this. Not sure how I am feeling, anxious, nervous, scared, but then somewhere in my mind, looking forward to start feeling better and the healing.

Thanks-
Chad

Relax, after all you'll be asleep the whole time and won't remember a thing. Honestly though, that is what got me through it. Once I realized it was 100% out of my hands, I was much better with it. G was a nervous wreck though. The last thing I remember is gargling some antiseptic mouthwash in the hospital bed, while in good spirits on that Wednesday morning. I woke up remember seeing G and my brothers at some point, woke up again and it was friday afternoon and my best friend was sitting with me, and I heard the ICU nurse mistake him for my husband. I was still a little confused so I just went back to sleep. I say all that to say make your preparations, And just enjoy your family this weekend. Have a meal with everyone you love. The Surgery is out of your hands, and the hard part is afterward.

Good Luck! I hope for a smooth recovery!
