I moved from CO to PA; I'll say that going from PA to CO isn't a bad direction in my book. There are worse places to convalesce than the foot of the Rockies!

Patricia, you need to be 100% certain and comfortable and confident with whatever decision you make. Best of luck!

Sorry that you developed a skin infection and have to postpone your surgery. I believe in God's timing and this would allow you to get another opinion so you would be satisfied you are making the right decision for you. Good luck

Patricia - It's important to have as many consultations as you need to find the team you trust. Just curious - I'm in PA - where's your cardiologist? Wishing you all the best in your search! ❤

I never even got on Facebook. This site is the only "social media" I use. You will find a lot of support and information here. If you have any questions, please ask away!

I am not on Facebook either and never will. This site offers encouragement and support. Of the few times I saw someone griping about something (not related to surgery), the post was largely ignored or people tell them the way it is here. Let us know I'd you have any... Read more.
