I've had all the test except another echo two weeks before my surgery which is June 2nd. I was hoping to get it sooner but that's the earliest they could do it. This waiting is the worst. I just want to get it over with. I could probably get the surgery sooner if I went elsewhere, but I really like my surgeon who has about 10 thousand OHS surgeries under his belt specializing in Valve surgery. The Frankel cardiovascular institute has a fantastic record also, so I decided to wait for when they can get to me. Still, very anxious. I'm trying to keep myself busy to keep my mind off the surgery. I'm very active but now try to not overdo it. That's the hard part.
