Well, while everyone is worried thinking I’m in surgery, Im still waiting. I was supposed to go into surgery this am. They woke me at 6am to scrub and clean and i am waiting with no answers. This seems to be par for TGH. my only complaint this week is that every test, procedure etc has happened 3-5 hours after they have me waiting for it. The staff however has been superb. The nurses are speculating that an emergency came in and my surgeon is working on someone more serious or that a heart became available for someone on the transplant list. So for now, no idea if its happening yet today while I wait starving as i am not allowed to eat before surgery.

Thanks for the update. Sorry about the wait! You are in all our thoughts and prayers
Hang in there Mikey. We are all thinking about you. XOXO Pat
Been thinking about you ALL morning! Try to nap. Or “read” the mag we brought you last night. PS – the lotion is NOT related to the mag, the lotion and chapstick are strictly for use on your body for the dry air in the hospital!!!
Hopefully the worst will be over soon and you keep positive, soothing thoughts! WE ARE! See you soon!
Aggravating I am sure, but way better than some of the other hospitals you have been in. I hope they let you know what’s happening soon.
Mike, thanks for keeping us in the loop. The wait must be horrible. Your in all of our thoughts!!!
Glad for update! I was thinking you were in surgery. Hopefully soon!
That sucks that TGH is so backed up…something I’ll pass along to my superiors. Thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery! Hang in there!
Hey Mike,
Dr. Sheffield is the best (know him personally and have worked with him for years). Thinking of you. It will be better soon. Janis
No fun! Hopefully they will get you in soon!
Alicia, i do not know you but you should explain the lotion magazine relationship for the rest of us! Must admit i laughed out loud.
Mike… Par for the course. Just means that you are not as bad off as you think!
Which great big wing houses you now?! Does anyone know?
Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way.
Cordially,
jm
Will be sending sweet thoughts and strength your way tonight. Hope you get some rest and peace of mind….See you soon. You are strong and will make it through as you always have.
I’m a ticking time bomb. Heart attack at any moment, but stable. And if something happened I’m here and they’d be on me in seconds. So safe from having damage. Bumping me is therefore not a danger.
I’ve had a lead come off my heart monitor and they’ve come running.
yikes…. that will definitely give all things to talk about after you get through this. not that you ever run out of conversation! but i see a book title…
did they perchance table you till tomorrow am?!
