going in for Bypass
Sep 17th, 2009 at 12:55pm
 
Hi,

I had a follow up appointment at Brigham & Womens Hospital in Boston with Dr. Day on Monday and I am scheduled for a left STA-MCA bypass on 9/29/09.  I was ok with it when he first told me but as each day passes I get a little more hesitant.  I do believe that it is the best way to go before I have anymore MM related issues but it is just scary to think about.  I will send another message after the surgery to let you all know how it went.

Waz,

I'll be thinking of you & keeping you in my prayers during your surgery & recovery.  My 6 y/o will be having her first surgery on 10/5, just a few days after you!

When you're feeling up for it, I'll look forwarding to reading your post here to let us know how well you're doing post-surgery!!! Smiley Smiley Smiley

Best regards,

Jennifer
