I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, calls and e-mails it is greatly appreciated. It sucks getting old and I am not even old...am I??
Surgery is scheduled for Thursday Nov 6 at 7:30am at Baylor-The Heart Hospital of Plano. Someone (obviously not me..or Andrea for that matter) will be updating this blog during and after the surgery. Again thank you for the support and concern!!
I am glad the Cowboys are off that weekend. The way they have been playing I am not sure if the Doctor would let me watch..
As you may know, I have recently been diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a genetic heart disorder (thanks Mom & Dad, you know cash would have been better) I will be going in for Surgery on Nov 6. I will be having a Septal myectomy. (sounds like a bad Henny Youngman joke, take Myectomy..please). The Surgery should only take a few hours but since it is open heart surgery I will be in the hosptial for about a week. (looking forward to those sponge baths). Long term prognosis is very good.
