The LatestWell, the op Monday is temporarily cancelled. I saw the cardiologist this morning; seems I need a catheterization before they'll proceed with surgery. When I was in hospital all the emphasis was on the bleeding and colon cancer; they did mention, almost in passing, that I had slight heart problems. Seems it's more than slight; heart is functioning at 50% capability and they want that checked out first (arterial plaque, etc). That came as quite a shock, feel, and have felt fine. but, as this is serious invasive surgery I can understand they want to make sure I'm optimal, especially as the lungs aren't too good. Appointment will be some time next week. I will be so glad when all of this is over .....

Good Lord Eileen, I am sorry yet in another way I think the fact they have found out and are taking action is good. I too hope it will soon be sorted for the best. |

Oh dear Eileen, I'm so sorry you have this setback. It is understandable the doctors and surgeons need you to be fit enough to undergo any type of surgery. I know how shocked you must be feeling at this latest news but you are a very strong lady, this is one more hurdle than you expected, so take one step at a time and you will get through this. You have very good friends in Carolyn and Christopher who, I'm sure, will support you and you will have zillions of healing vibes and support from us here. Take care, thinking of you lots ((((hugs)))) xxx |

Oh Eileen. That must have been a terrible shock to the system. *hugs* I guess it's as well you know now, but heart only operating at 50%? Sounds like it's been a slow degeneration - and maybe you'll be surprised at how much better you feel when it's working better. Is it just a case of wait and see how things pan out now, as you need to wait on other departments doing their bits first? *hugs tight* |

oh dear and i bet you'd hyped yourself up for going in on monday. its good that they want to check all this out before hand rather than get to the op and the possibility of a problem arise, but as you said and i firmly believe, 'your a tough old bird!!'. it must be a horrible waiting game for you, hopefully it will be all over soon. x x |

Blimey Eileen, but at least they've taken the sensible option and getting the heart sorted first before going ahead with surgery. You'll feel like a new woman when this is all over  Lots of love and healing vibes xx |

That must have come as a shock Eileen, but as others have said, your medics seem to be taking great care to be aware of all possible problems, so that is reassuring. Thinking of you and sending loads of positive vibes. Kizzy and Pip also send comforting purrrrrs and head rubs. ((((HUGS)))) |
