WE WENT TO SEE THE SURGEON TODAY. WE GO BACK THE 4TH TO FIND OUT WHEN TIM HAS SURGERY, AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JAN. THE TWO DR.'S HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AND FIND OUT WHEN BOTH ARE FREE AT THE SAME TIME. IT WILL TAKE SIX HOURS AND TWO SURGEONS TO MAKE TIM AS GOOD AS NEW AGAIN.
THE ANEURYSM IS AT THE STUMP OF THE AORTA ( NEAR THE VALVE). THEY WILL USE AN ARTIFICIAL VALVE WITH A SECTION OF THE AORTA ARTERY ALREADY ATTACHED. THEN REDO ONE BY-PASS THAT IS BLOCKED. I THINK HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ANOTHER ARTERY, JUST NOT SURE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THREE THINGS BUT TIM AND I WERE TALKING ON THE WAY HOME AND WE THINK HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FOUR THINGS. WE WILL FIND OUT ON THE 4TH.
HE TALKED US THROUGH IT SO WE COULD UNDERSTAND. HE EVEN HAD A HEART THAT HE OPENED UP TO SHOW US WHERE INSIDE THE HEART HE WOULD BE WORKING ON. ASKED US THREE OR FOUR TIMES IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS, WE DIDN'T, WE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT. BUT NOW I'LL ASK HIM ONE MORE TIME JUST WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO. I THINK I WAS USING ALL MY ENERGY BEING STRONG AND MISSED SOMETHING. HE SAID WE COULD CALL BUT I THINK IT CAN WAIT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED NO MATTER WHAT.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THIS YEAR I'M JUST NOT IN THE MOOD. I'M JUST THANKFUL I HAVE GOD IN MY LIFE , TIM AND FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I'M SORRY I DON'T POST A LOT NOW. I'M SPENDING ALL THE TIME I CAN WITH TIM. BUT I DO SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
I WILL TRY TO POST WHAT FEW THINGS I'VE MADE SOON.

You are taking in a lot of information right now and it is understandable that you can not process it all. Buy or borrow a small digital recorder and take it with you on the 4th. Tell the Dr. you would like to tape the conversation so you can review the information later. Most Drs. do not have a problem with this.
ReplyDeletePraying that you and your family have a blessed Christmas.
Kathy, please know that Tim is in God's hands. I know this is overwhelming and completely understand. Don't worry about not blogging much. You are right to spend time with Tim. I do wish that you and Tim will have a peaceful and wonderful Christmas. Twyla
