Good Morning. I started this a long time ago with my diagnosis of AS and the purchase of Adam's book but never followed through. Fear maybe?? But here I am today, sitting in the University of Michigan's hospital, waiting for the cardiac surgeon to come in on a Saturday (again, maybe), to give me my surgery date for OHS. So Hi! I'm Kristi and I'm grateful for the support here. I've been a long time lurker. You're all just awesome!

Jamie Griffith Hi Kristi, welcome. 11-mo ago I sat in that same room as yourself, waiting for one of the UM surgeons to meet with me. I had surgery 6-mo ago, and all is well. The care there is exceptional. It’s a scary thing to face, but you will get through it. I have found this website and information invaluable. Best of luck to you today!

Diana Chamblin-Bevirt Hi Kristi! This site is wonderful and has been so helpful to me. My surgery was postponed from 6/19 to 6/28, due to a more urgent case needing my spot. So I’m counting the days again. Surgery can seem overwhelming but I try to focus on the fact that our surgeons are highly trained and do this every day, and I’m hopeful that I will feel much better and have more energy when this is over. Reading the success stories on this site helps so much as well. I hope you get your surgery date soon, the waiting is so hard. Please keep us posted.
