Hi Michael,
I am with you on the anxiety. I have my pre-admission clinic on Tuesday and then I will be given my surgery date. As soon as I got the call my anxiety went up a whole lot of notches. I have been keeping really busy working out and cleaning closets, drawers and basement crawl space just to stay busy and not think about this too much. I also have a great coach that constantly reminds me that I will be in a place of no worries post surgery and moving on in life. My birthday is the 18th of March so I figure that's when they will tell me my surgery will be :) I am looking forward to seeing how you are doing post surgery. I will be thinking about you on the 19th and know you will be in a better place post surgery too!
Richard Munson Basement crawl space? Don’t get stuck in there with any strange animals. God love you.
Michael Ponzio Thanks so much. God will be with us all though our journeys.

Christopher T Anxiety got better for me once I realized I had done all I could do to ensure the best outcome. I realized the rest is out of my control and worrying will not change that.

Hey Michael! I just popped on and saw your post. I’m about 3 months post op from a mitral valve repair. I can really relate to your post, my anxiety was off the charts pre op and I understand how it can completely steal your joy. I have anxiety to begin with so it got really exacerbated. Please feel free to message me and we can exchange numbers if you ever want to talk, I’m happy to be a support anyway I can.

Michael Ponzio Thanks for reaching out. The struggle is real. Crazy how anxiety can make you feel things that aren’t real. I need to place my trust in God and be more faithful that He loves me and will protect me until my surgery.
