@larryst It sure gets complicated trying to consider multiple health conditions as you plan getting lumbar fusion.

You are coordinating with quite a few doctors. Do you have family/friend that be a second set of ears, or a sounding board…..maybe even your primary care provider? What have you learned from discussions so far, after meeting with heart rhythm and cardiology?

@jlharsh Thanks Again. My wife has been a fantastic sounding board and hans been wonderfully patient with me.
Both Heart Rhythm and the Cardiologist I have seen said they see nothing to prevent surgery… fairly timidly I might add referring to anesthesia and ortho. My arrhythmia problems have stabilized and the echo showed fairly stable. Yesterday I received results of my Amiodarone test that indicated I am at 2.4, nearly toxic (2.5) not sure how that will affect things
