My time in the waiting room is coming to an end!

Everything will be fine. Get it done asap and start living! Before surgery there is a lot of fear about the illness and sudden death among other things. After the surgery about 8 - 12 months post op you will not hardly think about it at all anymore. Thats freedom!

He's right, when I got my diagnosis in March 2014 I thought that was it but now,8 months post , I feel totally different. Almost like I was being overly dramatic ( must be the English side of me that feels that way ) even though a little drama is understanding in that moment.

Wow - I think about it every day ! Yes I feel well, but I felt well before surgery ! Prior to surgery I wasn't worried until the surgery was impending and then I worried about the horribleness of the surgery, so I would watch YouTube videos of AVR which helped, but I wasn't worried about sudden death or illness. Shows we're all different !
