About Me (In My Own Words)
I am scheduled for Mitral Valve repair and or reconstruction / replacement on July 29, 2014 at UPMC Pittsburgh. My Doctor is Dr. Vinay Badhwar. He is playing on going through my sternum for the procedure. As of today my anxiety is sky high. Even though I have done my research on pre-op / op / post op I am very nervous. Everyone is telling me you'll be fine, words are easy to say.......I am trying to keep an positive attitude but having difficulty in doing so. The closer the day the more anxiety I am having. I also think is contributed is the fear of the unknown.
The preparation the last few months is overwhelming. Driving back and forth to Pittsburgh and going several times to the dentist. One day when I look back at this, I can say this was nothing...LOL..... Until then
I do have the support of my family and friends which is helpful. My family is driving in this weekend to Pittsburgh and staying for the week while I am at the hospital which will be comforting to me..... Thank you.
