Letty's Guestbook

Letty, I\'m happy for you that you finally have your date for surgery. I certainly wish you well and you will be in the prayers of many. My surgery was delayed due to an emergency and then I cancelled it to find a different surgeon. My sister is an operating room tech in Las Vegas. She works with a surgeon she highly reccommends. My records are currently being reviewed and hopefully I will have my surgery soon. Best wishes to you and may god bless you. Gary

Letty, I\'m waiting too. I was originally scheduled for AVR on Sept. 1st. I have changed to a different surgeon in a different city. Hopefully we can both get this behind us real soon. My hopes and prayers are with you. Gary Vice

Hi Tita, I\'m happy to see you again! Hope you had a good news from your Dr... Be patient tita.. I remember before my surgery I went to different churches and ask and pray to the Lord that He always guide me in my operation.. it\'s me Andro D. this saturday, I will be going to my Dr for scheduled checkup and INR testing. Take care! if you want to talk or text me here\'s my # 09173944121

Hi Letty, I am sorry to hear you still do not have a date yet. But be patient... it will be time when it\'s time. I found out that I was going to need surgery in Feb. but didn\'t get a date until late May/early June so I know waiting is the hardest part. Do what you need to to keep your spirits high - it will all work out in the end. Sending prayers your way, Kellie

Hi Letty I am so sorry you are having to wait I know the frustration. Somehow each time I have been faced with open heart I feel like my lack of patience is being tested each time. Then each time I look back and wonder why, always turns to lack of control, like why can\'t we tell everyone when we are ready and lets get on with it. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and with a twist of timing. It is hard not to be distracted with thinking of just the future, I always found indulging myself in activities, sports or buying a little something special made me feel better. Take care Susan VandenBussche

Hi Letty. I can relate to what you are feeling. It helps to just know. Once I had that date, I felt better, as if I\'d accomplished something. I wasn\'t so much in a hurry to get the surgery over with, but somehow having that date gave me a sense of control. I had something I could plan around. So, I hope you get your date soon, but in the meantime, Amy\'s exercise sounds like an excellent way to stay calm & present. Take care, Joy Vera
