mitral valve repair now scheduled for June18 2012

Journal posted on May 24, 2012

I will be travelling to Toronto General hospital to get my Mitral valve repaired by Dr Tirone David.I am so glad I have a final date and feel confident in such a great Doctor who is well qualified to do the surgery.Dr David kept in touch with me via email since I first contacted him in December 2011.I am so sure I made the right decision to ask him to do my surgery.I will post my recovery and after surgery notes when I can and let you all know how things went.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are recovering and who may be preparing for surgery.
