My art, my life, and living with hypertrophic, obstructive, cardiomyopathy.

Scheduled
On Feb. 9th I will be meeting with Dr. Guyton at Emory to set up the myectomy. I have to have a cardiac cath before surgery so it will probably be scheduled then as well.
How scary and how brave of you... Brave to talk about your fears and reach out on your blog. Best wishes on your surgery and good health from here on out!
Thank you for entering my OWOH giveaway and stopping by.
Hello Donna...best of luck with your tests and surgery. I wanted to Thank You for stopping by for One World One Heart today.

Take care.. ´*•.¸(´*•.¸♥¸.•*´)¸.•*´ ♥•.*.*.*.Cherry*.*.*.•♥ ♥•.*.*.*.Chick.*.*.*.•♥ ¸.•*´(¸.•*´♥´*•.¸)´*•.¸
Donna thank you for visiting my blog - I hope you win! I hope for you only a smooth journey of quick safe and uncomplicated healing. Love and a peaceful heart! Suzy
Thanks Donna for visiting me and I just finished reading your whole blog page and enjoyed the pictures. The one of your mom on the steps of her house look exactly like the house I grew up in. I can't reach out and hug you but I will hold you in my heart and keep you in my prayers during your surgery and leading up to. God Bless, Mollye
Donna, I found your blog when you left a comment on mine for OWOH. I'm in Georgia too. Emory is a wonderful hospital as you probably know so you're in good hands. A former boss of mine's husband had a heart transplant there some years ago and is doing wonderfully. I know it must be very scary though. If you need anything, please email me. I'm just south of the airport.
Donna, Thank you for stopping by my blog for the OWOH. Good for you for finding something else to focus on during this stressful time. I always look for things of beauty or things that make me laugh. I wish you well and will send lots of soothing caring thoughts your way. :-) Gina
donna, thanks for stopping by for OWOH and I wish you the best in my giveaway. What a scary thing to go through! I pray that everything goes well and that God guides the surgeon's head and hands.
Hi Donna! Thank you for stopping by my blog for OWOH! The key word in there is Heart - you will meet so many wonderful people with big hearts as you visit their blogs. Already, look how many comments you've gotten from people wishing you well! I'm another one - I'll be sending healing thoughts your way, and hoping that you have fun with OWOH! Best of luck with your surgery! Toni
Peace be with you, it will be good. You will be comforted by the staff preparing you and have a lovely dream during the procedure and be so much better after. Bless you.
My thoughts will be with you as well as you undergo your surgery. I used to be so scared of even the thought of surgery and within the past year was forced to undergo both a c-section and gall bladder removal. It's not fun, but I think about the pain and even death I could have had to deal with and the surgery is the more pleasant option. Just be strong and trust that the doctors know what they are doing. This is what my husband told me - and it doesn't always work - but it's worth a try. :)
Dear Donna~ Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my OWOH blog post. I was sorry to read about your health problems and will keep you in my prayers for a stress-free surgery and a speedy recovery!
You entered my OWOH contest for my Nature Keeper. You didn't leave a name for her. So, please let me know your horse's name. Maybe that would be a good one for my doll. I wanted the winner to be the one to name her. I was DX with PAD two years ago. I went through all the testing and have been found to have a mild case. I was quite a runner and mountain trail hiker in my time... My husband is a surgical nurse. He is always the one to say that "there is nothing to worry about," "... all the advances that are being made..." You know that kind of stuff. It's just getting through it. I always made myself little gifts ready for when I got through with each procedure. I would think about it when I was being prepped. Like what those really great bedsheets were going to be like when I got home. Oh, well, anything to make it easier. I wish you moments of joy and days ease. Peace. Brianne.
How scary and how brave of you... Brave to talk about your fears and reach out on your blog. Best wishes on your surgery and good health from here on out!
