My aneurysm repair/replacment surgery was scheduled for 10/17 but i
I got a call today asking if they could move it to this Wednesday... I've been saying the waiting is the hardest part, but now that it's right around the corner m poor heart is skipping a couple beats.. ;p
Actually I think I'm okay with it, I know I did all I could do, found the best doctor for this kind of surgery and have faith in a power out there that I believe has my best interests in heart, so there's nothing for me to do than tho show up.....
My sister is coming into town and she is a real bulldog as far as making sure I am treated with the best care. She is retired from the medical field so she knows her way around...
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers please. It should go smoothy, no valve damage or repairs needed, just the pesky ole aneurysm so it should be as good as it can be. I have read on here plenty to know that it's not a walk in the park, but I have been keeping my focus on just staying in the moment, keeping peace and serenity in my heart and leaving the rest to the doc and the Universe/God/Power that be's, etc whatever it each beieves in....
Thanks all!!
Katie

Katie,

I am sure that Universe/God/Power is going to take special care of you and we'll all be praying for you as well.

The date change must be startling but you'll have it all over sooner and be back on track faster!

Keep us updated,
Siun

Thanks all.... I'm sitting at the most beautiful campground, just across a sand dune from the Atlantic Ocean, sitting here with the ocean breeze blowing, the calm sound of the waves soothing me, feeling about as serene as I ever had... I had planned this last littler"hooray" before my surgery for just that, to get my spirit calm to handle the bigness of this surgery. Right now, in this moment... All is good....
Love you all!!!!
Katie

Oh my, the ocean visit sounds like the perfect way to get ready ... what a lovely good idea. Maybe you can record a bit of ocean sound on your phone to take with you and remind you of just how wonderful this day is.

Brady678

That sounds like a great way to prepare...blowing hope and peace in a breeze your way.

I love the beach it brings me peace as I look at the gentle waves and sun reflecting like diamonds across the surface. May you have a peace week and your mind free of anxiety because when you awake you will be starting on the road to wellness. You and your family are in my thoughts and prays. God will hold you in his arms when you are asleep during your surgery and guide your team through your successful repair.

Hugs,

PS Keep us posted on your recovery :)

Hi Katie, wish
As you get ready to get your aneurysm fixed, I ask the Universe to support and heal you! May that breeze blow peace, love, comfort and kindness to you while you're in the Big House. May your nurses be kind and skilled and knowledgeable, may your physicians know their butts from a can of corn, and may you sleep well each and every night!
I'm looking forward to hearing from you as you return home and feel up to typing. Don't rush though. You get to be your first priority.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
Melissa
