Same for me, Lori. I was a CRNA for 44 years, and I never, ever thought I would have heart surgery..But all’s well that ends well, and here I am 9 years later.

Thank you Marie! I was stunned as well when I found out I needed heart surgery! What a shock! I know that I will be in experienced and capable hands at Stanford Hospital, but my mind still goes crazy.
