Hey Dan, great news on the surgery. I\'m 9 days post op from a MVR. I\'m hoping your condition never deteriorates, however if it does, two things to consider (I) an open heart procedure is not required, mine was a mid-cab robotic repair and my recovery has been much better than an open would be and (ii) the waiting part of the procedure is far worse then the procedure itself. Good luck! Cheers, Charlie

Dan, Thanks for sharing!!! You are one intelligent guy making well informed decisions. Does make you wonder and worry about the people who are not so intelligent and just assume that the professional is always right. I enjoy reading your updates. Again, thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Dan: thanks for the updates. I will be praying for you throughout this entire ordeal. You have the right attitude when you say you will make the best decision and leave it up to God. Too bad U of M couldn\'t pull it off last night. Looks like they have a bright future. Talk to ya later....Rick Laven
Great to hear from you. I'm guessing Scott mentioned something. God is where it is ALL at. He is aware of all of this and I know I am doing the right thing.

Dan - glad to hear that there is some wiggle room in the diagnosis and that surgery may not be needed in the immediate future. These surgeries are truly life-saving and amazing, but they do come with risks inherent to any major surgery. No point in going into them without adequate preparation and forethought! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress and diagnoses! Sherry Bradford AVR 10/23/2012

Hi Dan!
I\'m sorry I missed you on Easter, but I am very encouraged by your second opinion and status report!! Keep us posted and we still need to get together! Although I think I will be working all of April so it will have to be a Saturday or evening or wait until May.
Later!

I\'m proud of the way you\'re tackling this \'bump in the road\' head-on and proud to call you a friend for almost 40 years. To say that you\'re in our prayers would be an understatement.
The care at U of M is outstanding and getting another opinion at Mayo is a great idea. Since we live in Minneapolis, we are more than happy to help in any way we can while you are here. If you need a place to stay...or a ride to Mayo...or just a familiar face when you get into town. Please let us know.
Love,
Eric, Molly, Emily and Ethan Johnson
I will be thinking of and praying for you! Keep me posted and tell me if there is anything I can do to support you and the fam!

Dan Gibbons Thanks Bob. Going on for another opinion on Wednesday at St. Joes. I keep praying that this whole thing will go away. You never know!
If I proceed with surgery I would like to get together with you and Adam. You guys are my small group and I will need some spiritual guidance. He will help me through this I know.
I've been following some of the other patients that gave just gone through this surgery and it has been very cathartic.
