Paul Pierce well great to here from you. I was worried you might have had some complications. CC is one of the best places to go if you are having minimal invasive. Did you pick a surgeon?

Lisa & Glen Smith Dr. Wierup, they assigned him to me. I think with all the factors I am going to go with a sternotomy. I may not even qualify for the robotic minimally invasive, my femoral artery I think is too small. Leaving for CC 2 weeks from Tuesday.

Lisa & Glen Smith Consult went well. Went to surgeon recommended by my cardiologist. Specializes in mitral valve.
Decided to book surgery for 3/12. I am symptomatic so I'm ready to be on the other side recovering.
Repair is optimistic however replacement is a back up. All very surreal. Dont think it will hit me until I'm at the hospital the morning of surgery.
