I just had a meeting with my surgeon. He said that it was time to move forward with heart valve replacement. I've met with him prior to this encounter. We met last June and at that time he didn't think it was time to get this procedure done. This put some stress on me as I am in the middle of Pharmacy school and I was just starting my 3rd year. For those who are not familiar, most PharmD. programs have a 3 year didactic with a 4th year of rotations where one basically works as a pharmacist in various settings to get experience and prepare them for their career. So basically I'm trying to plan out what the next year will look like but cannot guarantee where I'll be because I could be away in some rural area at the time that I start experiencing heart failure symptoms and need the surgery right away. Fortunately I have a great support staff at the school I attend that have been able to work with me and I was able to carve out some space for me to have the surgery and then hop right into my rotations with a decent recovery time. This doesn't happen for every student and I am very thankful that things are working out so far. My wife had some of the same feelings going into today's appointment which were mainly that we hoped the surgeon didn't postpone surgery again because we didn't want to try to dance around my last year of Pharmacy school, so we were both a bit relieved. Now I just have to focus on my school, finish up my finals and then on to the next phase of my life.
