Day one of tests at the Cleveland Clinic is done. Day 2 begins in an hour. Surgery is scheduled for Wed., 4/29p. I am meeting the surgeon this afternoon to lock in on the scope and plan. It is a whirlwind!
I hope you met the surgeon a good amount of time (days/weeks) before. And I hope you met with other surgeons. Considering tests are done over 2 days rather than within hours, it can't be that urgent. If you have OHS, there are things to prepare that make recovery easier.... Read more.
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery 🙏❤️
A whirlwind, but a very organized one at Cleveland Clinic. Gave me much confidence. Best wishes!
Thinking about you! I had my aortic valve replacement there Oct 2024. They are great and efficient.
