Well since I've gotten insurance & a Nurse Practiner instead of that useless idiot dr, I've been getting tests run & yesterday when I saw my heart dr he told me I have to have open heart surgery before christmas. Someone can correct my spelling but its Aortic Stenous, basically when I was 5 I had rhuematic fever so that valve got some bad germs & now almost 55 yrs later its caught up with me, the good news is this is a slow time at work & the building closes for 2 wks for the holidays so hopefully I won't lose out on much money & the up side is I'll quit being SOB & not so damn tired then once healed I can be fitted for my new teeth & get my cataracts removed. So I won;t be around much till maybe Jan. So please try not to worry & have a great holiday season. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I agree Beth, I see a PA most of the time...they are more down to earth than the doctor's.  Sorry to hear about the surgeries, your health is the most important thing though.  Wishing you a speedy recovery :)

Take care of yourself and take time to heal after your surgery...do not push yourself too hard after for a bit.

Beth, any news on exactly when the heart surgery will be?

Hi Beth sending lots of love, hugs and strength your way, will be thinking of you xxx

I'll know more Dec. 8 when they put that tube down my throat to check my heart valves & as I call it "rotor router" my arteries in my heart so they can figure out if I need ByPass surgery too besides a new aortic valve. Got some good news about my job-they are glad I'm getting patched up & for my future operations (my cataract surgeries) & getting teeth. Hopefully this means they see it like I do-getting past problems fixed so I'll be feeling yrs younger to continue my job. Thankyou everyone once again for the concern & prayers. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes: I figure I should be feeling tip top & ready for spring & riding my bike & walking more.

Hugs and kisses Beth.....wow...you will feel wonderful.....keep us updated sweetheart....

You're awesome, Beth!!!  I feel like givin' ya a big ol' hug!
