I am unsure if there is anything I should do to prepare for surgery. My exercise is walking and I have been averaging 10000 steps daily for the last month. However, there is work pressure and it concerns me that the air quality is unhealthy because of the haze being blown in from Indonesia.
I hope it clears when I have my surgery.
Just taking it a day at a time and praying to the Good Lord for peace, strength, joy and faith that all will go well.

Clare Auten I hope that the air clears for you. If not, do you have options for indoor walking. I went to the gym in my town and used an indoor track. Best wishes.

I tried to keep my life as normal as I could, given how I felt--I gardened like a maniac, mostly to keep my mind off what was coming and working on anxiety.
Best wishes on your surgery. It has improved my life so much!

You are doing all the right things and the rest is up to the surgical team once you enter hospital. Your job is to do the healing after the surgery.
Peace be with you.

Christine Oliva Good luck far away heart friend. I'll cross my fingers and toes for you. Take it easy today and like Steven says give your body time to heal. It will take time and everyone is a little different so don't be quick to judge yourself by another. May you have a successful surgery and great recovery. God's blessings to you and your family.

Hi all.
I'm from Singapore and have been following the updates here since March 2015, when my surgery to replace my AV was scheduled.
It has been rescheduled several times because I became ill just before my surgery and it is now scheduled on 3 November 2015.
I'm getting nervous but I guess this is normal.
I wonder if I am the only person from Singapore in this journal.
