About Me (In My Own Words)
Hi, my name is Diane, and I am 60 1/2 years old. Yes, now I know that the 1/2 is important. I happened to go for my yearly physical check up November 2012 and my wonderful family physician heard a Murmur.She quickly sent me for an echocardiogram and my valve opening is the size of a pin hole. (.7). The cardiologist said it was urgent that I have surgery since a pin hole is too small for my heart to keep pumping my heart.He said if I don t have this surgery, I will be dead in 2 years!!!
I have finally met my cardiac surgeon, Dr. Paul Hendry, this week and also went to discuss pre admission and what to do prior to surgery. .
My New pleasant surgeon, does not know, but the rumour is, I plan to apply as a contestant on Dancing with the stars..... hahah and I might ask if he wants to join me, hahahhah..
Wouldn' t that be a great story: Heart Patient gets revitalized and gets accepted to be on the famous show to prove how cardiac surgery is a blessing for everyone!!. My surgery will be this coming Wednesday April 24th ( unless something causes the date to be changed: hopefully not. So, I will try and blog once I come home to tell you how I felt about the whole journey experience!!! Hope it will be a positive experience and that my son Travis and my 79 year old mother will be happy to see me Alive and kicking up my heels in the long run.
Watch out, Dancing with the Stars!!! HERE I COME!!
