Heart Surgery Time .....

Hi everyone,


Just wanted to let you know that I go in for my first heart surgery next week.  I'm so lost without our chats.  It's times like these that I stay silently to myself and worry.  I had finally reached the point where I felt I could open up in chat, and now they are gone.  Anyway, with everything going on here, I lost email addy's and all that so I haven't been around.  I go in Thursday the 19th but I don't know what time yet.  I'm starting to freak out because I'm not supposed to be under anesthesia and I will be under at least 3 hours.   I just have to trust in God, which I do, but I'm still freaking a bit.

Hi Kathie, I've missed you at chat. I know I have your email address here, somewhere, but it's lost in one of the stacks of papers. You can email me through my profile. We get together on yahoo on Tues and Fri evenings. I don't know if they still gather on Sat or not. I think it just depends on who's online, when.


Is this surgery the one to replace your valve? I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Please, let us

Jan

Kathie I do hope all goes well. We normally chat on yahoo messenger now and since I'm on messenger you can put me on as a contact and I'm on my computer through out the day so I'll be glad to chat anytime. I'm home all the time. I'm known as cinamenii on messenger.

Kathie, it's so amazing what they can do now. My bil just had a quadruple bypass...he was up and walking around by the third day and out of the hospital in less than a week! Do you remember in our mothers' day when having a baby meant a 7-day hospital stay?


It is scarier when you have other conditions that can complicate the procedure. But if they have a complete history of your problems, they can monitor things so closely and really handle a lot of problems before they ever really arise.


I hope it all goes very smoothly for you. I'm trying to find out about the "chats" on Yahoo also so that I can meet up with people again, so I hope to see you there.


Good luck.


Kat

Hi Kat


Most of us have just been using Yahoo messanger for chats. If you go on yahoo and see some people you know online we just conference on yahoo messanger easier that way.


Love ya

hello Kathie


we don't know each other well, but I heard about your heart surgery in chat..the 11 am EST on yahoo that was mentioned


You certainly have good reason to freak out...but..it will be fine! Heart surgery ain't what it used to be! while not a stroll through the park, they do wonders! My cousin @ 70 got a new valve (pig) that was 2 yrs ago..she is fine


I had neurosurgery in '95 and was scared up to a point..then you have to trust the docs and God (and mine turned out fine too)


wishing you all the best


((hugs))
