The date is set: May 26th
Others in my boat call it the “Waiting Room”, a figurative place where we wait to undergo our surgeries. I have a few months here with which to worry about what could go wrong on the big day. Conversely, I can focus on the great things I’ll accomplish in my post-op life.
The likelihood is that I’ll end up doing a little of both; sharing my experience on this blog would no doubt be therapeutic for me. Yet, my ultimate goal is to chronicle my journey with the hope of helping those that may have similar, undiagnosed heart problems and to provide a forum for others that are waiting with me.
Derek,
ReplyDeleteWe love you and will be routing for you. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Wow... I'm sorry you are having to go through this. Good job for standing up for your body, and listening to it's signals...
ReplyDeleteFortunately, as far as I know, my ticker is doing fine. But, I've had three surgeries now and happen to know "the waiting room" rather well. Good luck with your upcoming surgery. It will no doubt be difficult, but you will do just fine... I don't know what all I can do from the big state of Texas, but I am here for you and will keep you in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Heather DeCausemaker Weisel
