Hey there.. sorry I have not been on in a while. My Surgery had been moved to this Thursday the18th, but when I woke up this morning to a sore throat i made a doctors appointment with my cardiologist first thing. Looks like my surgery will be moved to next week or the one after that. Things happen for a reason...just going to take it easy and will keep you updated on my new surgery date. Thank you all for your prayers!

Wanda Mroz True that.... It all happens for a reason. Hang in there...

Emily Rowley Do they think you might have a viral infection? I too had a sore throat & sneezing (feeling bit flu). The saline through oxygen mask they used on me in Hospital helped. My Surgeon wasn't worried, she didn't believe it was anything like an infection or serious. Wishing you all the best for your Operation.

Mark Dosal Thank you Wanda and Emily! The best to both of you!

Emily Rowley Although I haven't had experience with any American Doctor, I've had experience with Mitral Valve Repair Surgery.

Mary K People in that area seem to go to Dr. Accola at Florida Hospital in Orlando.
