Mike Roskowinski Welcome Justin... As Adam said this is a great place to ask questions and I am a few weeks away from being 6 months post operation. Life is back to normal and feeling great. Hope we can help you through your journey
Justin Eilermann Thanks, Anthony! It's been a whirlwind since having the surgeon confirm the procedure.
Not sure about you, but man do I start analyzing every little part of activity with my body, & start having anxiety.
I spent 3 hours up in the middle of the night just reading stories here to make me tired and fall asleep.
Keep in touch my new friend. I will be thinking & praying for you!

Anthony Kozleuchar I try not to do that (the analyzing), but end up focusing on it sometimes--especially at night! It's weird to have this slap you in the face...reading the stories here has helped me a bit get my head around this. When is your surgery?

Justin Eilermann Looking like the week of November 11th. I will have to go in for a cardiac cath the week before, as they want to make sure all my arteries are clear, & I don't have any blockages. I wish I could do it sooner, but this is what seems to work for scheduling.
Been checking my blood pressure at home, & so far that has been good. The doctor said if there areany crazy dips or spikes; swelling of my feet/legs; tightness in chest; constant shortness of breath, then I need to call in & they may push it up.
I seem to be OK on all those, but with farmers in the fields all around our area, & the changing of the seasons, I came down with a sinus infection. Hope to end that battle in the next 7-10 days before all the pre-surgery testing begins.
