Thank you, Upstate, Phil, and everyone who’s still following this thread. My surgery was scheduled for today, however, it’s been postponed until October 12. I had an electrical anomaly on my preop EKG that needs to be investigated first. The month of September will be spent having echocardiograms and stress tests, then follow ups with the cardiologist and my primary care physician before I can be cleared for surgery. So, fingers crossed that this blip in my readiness for surgery will be resolved over the next 30 days and I’ll be back on track for surgery in October. I appreciate the great advice I’ve gotten from all of you! I will update this thread as I get more information in September. Thanks, everyone!
