Wish Me Luck
Welp...
tomorrow is the day that I see the cardiac surgeon...
I'm unsure if they are gonna "keep" me @ St. Vincents or if they will send me home and do the surgery at a later date.
I would think that they would want to get on this ASAP (but then again, I could be biased since its ME)...
we shall find out tomorrow....
I will be getting up and leaving early so wanted to hop on here tonite..
we'll keep yall informed....
hugs

are wrapped around you today for me since I cannot be there to do it myself. 
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Call me if you need anything 765-667-9716.
first of all i wanna thank ya'll for keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers...
it just means the world to me...
i just spoke with Tracy and that silly girl had be crying...shes a turd!!! but ya gotta luv her!!!
sorry im copyin' and pastin' this, but i am just beat... wanna get you guys updated then go lay down
yup its gonne be open heart surgery 05/19/09..
if you take a heart and flip it on it's side my blood vessel all the way @ the top of the flipped heart is 99.9 blocked....
they couldn't stint it when i had the cath b/c this area is too long and the surgeon didnt think it would work... so they are going to go in remove the blockage....
they are not sure how much it really is going to help(it should help some)...
he said that area of my heart was still viable...the now right side of the flipped heart is thin and prolly not viable...
they originally thought my heart function was only 50%, but i did find out today that it is closer to 75%..that's good news...
i think i got all of that right....i was a mess when he was telling me, so aaron has the exact details...if they are different from what i remember and what i told ya.... ill let ya know
i scared ****less you guys!!! im afraid they wont be able to get my heart started again...terrified...
kerrie's (my best friend) gonna flip...
she was a nervous wreck friday when she went w/ me for the heart cath... i dont know how shes gonna handle this!!! hahha!!!
it will recover 6-8 weeks then have WLS if i am strong enough for it. it seems to me the cardiac surgeon thinks this is a good idea...bc i need to get this weight off and stop straining my heart so much
i am also participating in a clinical trial for an immunization against staff infection in open heart patients...keeping my fingers crossed that i didnt get the placebo
gotta keep my SOH....i apparently dont have my health!!
