So last month's visit to Hopk.ins was great for G - an A+ for her.
Hubby got an F. A big fat red, bold, italicized F.
Besides a sleep study, monitoring his left kidney function, and a weight loss program, Hubby will be going under the knife again......very soon. In 2007, he had his descending aorta repaired after a dissection that occurred in 2002. Now, 2 1/2 years later, we are preparing for surgery on his ascending aorta and his aortic valve. We knew this surgery was coming - just thought we had more time.
I have Googl.ed. I have researched the surgeon over and over (so cool that he has his own page on Wiki.pedia!!). We have looked at the different kinds of procedures. And all I have are more questions.
On Tuesday, we meet the surgeon and get some answers. And then the planning begins for the recovery. Because for me, the caretaker, the time in the hospital is the easiest part - its the three month recovery at home that is the most challenging.
