Day after tomorrow is the "BIG" day! I report to the hospital at 6 am 10\1. I've had a lot going on, which I guess is good, it's taken my mind off the surgery. I had to have 2 echocardiograms, one of them was a stress test. I also had a heart catherization, chest x-ray, 5 EKG's, ultra sound on my kidneys, liver, spleen, and gall bladder. Everything is OK! I've been getting together all the vitamins, drinks, jello, etc. This has been a real learning process, and will continue to be. I have found some real wonderful friends on this site and at our local support meetings. Keep e in your prayers. Thank you for all the wonderful messages.
