Thanks Virginia, I am so happy things came out good for her. I went to the Canada site today but never read much, Dan came home so that was that!

Congrat's Wendy. I hope a transplant or LVRS comes through for you. You're co-conspirator friend, Pat lol

Thanks Virginia for letting us know. Seems our friends are all scattered around anymore. I can still find Wendy but don't know anywhere to find LarryNZ. Hope he is okay. Guess we will always be concerned about someone.

[wendyco]

thank you for your concerns, as Virginia said it did go well and now it's onward and forward....will see the pulmo docs the end of themonth and see what they say now...........................

still no new word on Larry

[wendyco]

thought I'd give you all an update.....this is the latest, the pulmo also said about the flu and hini that when the "shots' come out, get it and get it right away..........

Appt at National Jewish



Today, Weds Aug 26th I met with the pulmo doc in Denver to find out the big answer to the big question on LVRS…..Having started this Great Adventure over 6 and a half months ago I was anxious to find out….

As always, Char drove me down and I looked out at our beautiful Rocky mountains, which had an added beauty to them this morning……clouds were peeking their heads over the tops and snow could be seen but just a little longer the sun was shinning, showing off the gorgeous green fields that lie below the boulder fields, it was stunning.

Really didn’t know what to expect, seems every other time I went in I ended up having more test. Well, the doc came in and we spoke all out niceties and then he said he was referring me to Dr. Mitchell at Colorado University hospital to meet with him for the final say……..Nat Jew pulmo saw nothing in my testing to stop me from having the surgery now that the cardiologist okayed my heart….He did say, however that Doc Mitchell might not like blank and blank et etc but he is the one doing the surgery so it will be his final decision…..I should hear from Mitchell in a few days or next week to meet with him and go over stuff….and it seems that if he agrees I am a good candidate, the surgery would be scheduled for shortly after…………….



To say I’m happy doesn’t begin to express what I’m feeling….actually I almost feel drunk!!!! LOL Just the thought of being able to breath easier puts chills up and down, I hadn’t hoped for relief until I had passed…..Now I might have the chance to not be so SOB……..world watch out!!!!

Wendy, That is just GREAT news. Hope Dr Mitchell gives the go ahead. The anxiety of waiting has to be tough. You did good. Hang in there and take good care of yourself in the meantime.

I am still praying for you.

[Colleen-NC]

What great news!! I am doing the happy happy dance for you. I pray that Mitchell has nothing but positive thoughts also and gives you a date for surgery!

[Toby]

I am so happy for you! Keep us posted.

WEndy, I am thrilled for you. If Dr. Mitchell's (guess he is the thorasic surgeon) office does not call you soon to set up an appt. I would recommend that you call then. Often records have a tendancy to get shuffled around and land on the wrong desk - which just delays things.

I am so excited for you!

[blondie]

Wendy, I'm doing to happy dance for you. I hope you do as well as our Pennypa..Please keep us up-to-date. Best Wishes my friend, Pat

[wendyco]

saw the surgeon today at University Hospital and after talking things over, he told me I could have the surgery and we scheduled it for Tues Oct 13th....so I am excited beyond belief...when he told me I hollered out with a whewhooooo......nervous too but more excited than nervous, it just feels right......

[Colleen-NC]

I am doing the happy dance for you!! YEA!! I marked the calendar, we will all be with you in spirit!!

[maryaz]

I am so very excited for you Wendy. Couldn't be for a more deserving person. My thoughts are same as Colleen. You will have many prayers going with you. Just be sure we will know how you are doing. ;D
