@brumasterj,
@walkinggirl is right on about not being able to do things we used to twenty years ago...we all wish that! She is also correct that being in great physical shape is a super positive thing going into open heart surgery. And it also doesn't hurt that being at the top hospital in WORLD for this surgery is the best of all things possible. You will find this true as you begin your pre-op journey, right up to the day they wheel you to the front entrance to say good-bye!
I appreciate how you have been able to share with our little community your wonderful positive attitude, and I must say that too will help you along during this process.

I know you must be concerned about not taking Camzyos any longer starting today...I would be too, since you have had some relief from your HOCM symptoms. Did your cardiologist give you any advice about being off this and becoming symptomatic? Your surgery is several weeks away...do they want you on Beta or Calcium channel blockers?
