I was scheduled five months ahead of my AVR and it was tough sledding early on, then, after the first month or so, time just seemed to speed by and it was surgery time. I remember saying 'if time goes as fast after the surgery as it has before, I'll be saying wow, it's two months since I had the surgery'. Well, it's been six weeks since and time has flown. The wait is the worst, but, if you just focus on what neesds to getsdone and live your life as it goes, it will be here and you'll be on the recovery side feeling better.
Best wishes,
Dan
