Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery.......

My civilian Cardiologist just broke the news to me to prepare for Open Heart Surgery,to replace my Aortic Valve........ They have a new procedure that you can volunteer for..... Instead of open heart surgery they enter thru the same way they do a heart catheter....... (1st)They go in to remove the defective valve,then they go back in to put the artificial valve in its place(not quite that simple I'm sure)......... They only perform that surgery at Ochsners Medical Facility in New Orleans....... It's new and right now they will only take volunteers,which I've already done by signing the papers..........I also have blockage,but they said this procedure must come 1st and ASAP...... After I go thru some more tests in the next 3 days,I should be ready to go for it.......I'm bringing my computer,I sure hope they have Wi-Fi available for patients...... That's it,if you don't hear from me with in a few weeks,well then it's been nice knowing all you fine boys and girls...........
