Hello William, It really helps to have something to focus on to "fill up" the pre-op days:) Personally, I was so focused on organizing Christmas that I did not think about the surgery until that day. Best wishes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery.
Hope surgery goes well. Dedication of teachers...second to none!
Best wishes fellow teacher and BAV patient. I am headed back to my 6th grade classroom after 12 weeks, a little excited and nervous.
Good luck William and thanks for what you do.
All the best to you! Can't wait to hear about your recovery!
Bill, I hope surgery was successful and you are recovering well and your care team is awesome!
