Kim's Journal

I just learned of this site and I am not sure what to read next. I love all the information and journal entries of others going through the same thing. I go back to my Dr in February on Valentines Day how ironic is that. LOL. I am a research need to know type person I have already purchased the book and trying to download the ebooks but not successful. I am thinking I will create a binder to keep all of my finding and research in. Can anyone else tell me how they have gathered and put information together so that when the time comes to make the decision I have every thing at hand to sit with my family and discuss and decide. I welcome any suggestions of how and where to get more information. I am in Maryland and being told the we will do procedure at University of MD. My current cardiologist, the one not doing the surgery, keeps telling me not to worry right now,let him worry, but this is not my personality I need to know everything I can so that I ask the “right” questions. I have always been the one that handles everyone else’s medical things because I make sure I have the knowledge about what is going on and what to expect. So now I need to do it for myself and it seems a little overwhelming right now. With now knowing when this will happen I want to start now, it is the Virgo in me.
