Need some hugs!!

I have jumped through all the hoops; the insurance, referrals, scheduling time off from work, pulmonologist and a slight abnormality was found with my EKG. My surgeon will not confirm the surgery date(tentatively Aug 5****il the cardiologist gives the ok. I have to do a 2 day stress test next week, Tue and Wed and will know what's what after that. I think all of you can relate to the psyching up process that goes on prior to surgery- what a let down! If I can't have surgery on the 5th I have to wait another month cuz my surgeon is going on vacation. Worse yet, what if they won't let me have surgery at all!!!??? I feel like I'm whining and probably a little PMS... but there's times when that's ok... I need some pumping up!!!!

Hang in there and take it one day at a time. Waiting another month isn't the end of it all either(just if surgery is out all together LOL). Keep you chin up and take a deep breath. Checking out your heart is a pretty good thing to do! Right??

HUG HUGS HUGS TO YOU , just thank god that whatever is wrong with your heart is nothing,but wouldn't it be better to find out before you are on the table and god forbid something unexpected comes up .......just think happy thoughts and just keep telling yourself that this is for the best....everthing will work out have faith .........Bye Sheila

HUGS HUGS HUGS!!! I hope you try to think of it as thank GOD they found out that there might a little problem BEFORE you had surgery rather than while in the middle of it. I hope that it is nothing and that you pass your stress test with flying colors, and it's OK to feel down and to whine, that's why we are here!!! Make sure you keep us updated. ~Julie

Thank you all! I just needed to hear someone say those words of encouragement!!! I'm leaning toward "its just a formality" but still nervous that when I do the treadmill test, because I 'm so inactive, I won't be able to go for very long> my husband had it done a couple weeks ago and he went 10 full minutes at 3.5 MPH!!!! I doubt I will last beyond 3 minutes!!!!

(((( HUGS TO YOU)))) take it easy , you will make it through the last tests with flying colors I am sure. good luck on the surgery coming up soon! soon you can be a loser like the rest of us! LOL Judi

A two day stress test???? What do they think you have been doing for the last few weeks????? (((HUGS))) Elizabeth
