Thanks for adding me to the list. I really wanted to be a July Sparkler but sapphires are beautiful and hopefully my knee will be as well.

 

[Pjmc]

Sapphires are beautiful that is true . By tomorrow this time my surgery will be behind me . Of course today the hospital decides to call with echocardiogram results not the best news in addition to heart murmur aorta enlargement. Put me over the edge hearing this . Doctors said to have the surgery so i am going forward.

 

[ucsbgal1971]

Best of luck Pjmc. I wouldn't worry about the heart diagnosis. They wouldn't do the surgery if it would be too dangerous for you, at least that is what my internist told me today. It is good that they know your condition so that the anesthesiologist will know exactly how to take care of you. I can imagine what you are feeling with the surgery so close because I am scared to death too. I am trying to concentrate on anything and everything except this surgery.
Wishing you an easy time of it.
Pam

Three weeks from today. So much to do and so little time. Just scheduled an appointment to have my windows washed. I don't know why but that is important to me right now. Purchased a new freezer and now I am going to learn how to make beef stew. My mother made the best stew. I really hate TV dinners. I have started my list and am shifting into overdrive.

 

[bottomshollow]

amab, you have had your surgery date officially changed to the 17th!

I love this quote, as I love this forum. I have learned so much so far, with more to learn in the coming weeks.
LTKR coming up Sep 18th then my life can move forward. So many hills to climb and so many streams to cross.
I am so glad i have this group to walk the walk with me. Nanc
