Tomorrow is the day!
My journey begins tomorrow! I see the Dr. for psych. evaluation tomorrow, then on thursday the nutritionist,the cardiologist, the pulmonologist, then the info. session. Just by typing it I'm tired and I'm excited too! But I need some prayers please, to give me that extra boost.
Michelle and Erika my do you guys think I'll be having like the stress test or the PFT done on this same trip? Ah, I'm afraid of the stress test!! I wish one or both of you could come with me!
Thanks anticipated. Love you guys! hugs!

Hi Johanna!
I'm excited for you! If they recommend the stress test or the PFT, ask them immediately if it's possible to work you in right away, because you live so far away. If you're persistent they will try to work you in on this trip. The most important one to have down there is the stress test. The PFT you can have done up here if you have to. Dr. Flores is always busy, but try to work in the stress test while you're there. The test is exhausting, but doesn't last that long. You'll do fine!!! You'll be in my prayers...
Hugs,
Erika
Johanna,
Don't be nervous! You'll do fine! The info. session was very informative and the support group as well. I think I enjoyed those two things the most.
I agree with everything Erika said! Definitly let them know you live far and get that stress stest scheduled while your there. I just had to travel back last week because Dr. Flores could not fit me in at all. Granted, my sister and I had a blast it was still an expensive trip.
Johanna, Once you get these things done you will be closer to the finish line!
Keep your head up and keep positive!

Johanna,
I remember getting the list of all those tests I had to get done and my nerves went up and down like a yoyo. It is the unknown that I was so nervous about. But just think, you are headed in the right direction I know many people are so proud of you, I am. It takes a lot emotionally to go through all of this but you can do it. Remember to e mail us if you need anything or post when you're extra stressed, the positive words you will receive in return will help a lot. Keep us posted on everything and try to focus on the outcome of all of this, just think about you a year from now. Your life will be completely different, that thought alone kept me going.
Your in my thoughts and prayers ~ Robin
