the big appointment

I have been anxiously waiting for any news from Dr. Ahktar. My plan was to wait until mid January, then call his office to see if any progress has been made. Yesterday was the day I decided to call. But...his secretary beat me to it, and called yesterday morning! Dr. Ahktar wants to see me this Friday morning.

So...I guess he has answers...now I'm nervous!! I'm assuming that the team of surgeons in Edmonton have met, and the panel of cardiologists have met. Otherwise, why would he need to see me? So, this is all good news. A little unnerving. On Friday I will know if I'm heading for surgery or another angiogram type procedure. I'm hoping that he will have dates to give me as well. Then I will know, and can prepare and plan.

I will post an update on Friday...please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I will have peace about whatever decision they have reached. Thanks!
