Excited But Scared

[Guest guest]

Today I finally made all the right Dr. appointments for the surgery.

If I can make it thru the tests my cardiologist is putting me thru

(stress test, blood flow test), he will talk about his approval for

the by-pass surgery. Only after his approval will the Dr that does

the gs in Anchorage see me. The only reason I have to have prior

approval from my cardio Dr is the fact that I have had quad-bypass

heart surgery, have high blood pressure (controlled with masses of

medication) and an insulin dependent diabetic.

But, I am feeling very good about the whole thing, and have really

been encouraged by the comments on this web-site. Like I said, I am

really excited but SCARED to death in the same breath. So, on the

8th

of June by this time all the first test should be over with, and we

will progress on to the next phase. One really, great thing, is that

my insurance company will pay 100% for everything, and I have the

support of a new group of friends. Thanks for all your good

thoughts.

Well Ann I wish you much success on your journey. I am waiting on

surgery, (scheduled for July 26) and am alos looking forward to it,

nervous about it and sometimes feel I should be more scared.

I hope the Dr. gives his approval so you can be on your way to a

healthier life.
