I am scheduled for my angiogram in Birmingham tomorrow morning. This should be the last hurdle in getting ready for AVR in Chicago on Dec. 19th. It all feels very surreal and I hope the anxious feelings subside.

Bridget Supple I hope you feel better about it soon. After my angio, I felt so much better. I was relaxed and confident about my choices and, actually, raring to go! Not sure why. Maybe knowing that the only thing wrong with my heart was my aortic valve, maybe it just made the whole thing seem real. I wish you the same. Take care and hang in there!

Cindi Waldrop Thanks everyone. I do feel better and maybe not raring to go but close to that I think! So grateful for the notes and my family will be traveling with me. A different kind of Christmas but all together is a blessing!

Marie Myers I hope everything goes perfectly for you and that you have an easy recovery! Sounds like you are in great hands. You may be surprised, like I was, that the whole experience was not as difficult or painful as my mind expected it to be. Though it was a big surgery, it was very doable. Now, 8 +months later, I can honestly feel that I am totally back to normal. Went back to work part time at 8 weeks and did well. All the best to you!
