I am excited...
I know this may not be very exciting to anyone except for me, but I was cleared for surgery by my pulmanologist today! I was so nervous about this appt because I had such severe pneumonia two years ago that I was on oxygen for 4 weeks. I thought he would give me a hard time. He was very encouraging! I am so relieved. I don't expect to have any issues with cardiology. I have class #3 of 6 in two weeks. It is getting closer! :)
You should totally be excited! Some of the obstacles on the pre-surgery feel like an IRONMAN Triathlon.
Good luck with the rest of it!
