Greetings to all,
Just a note pre-surgery. I’m sitting at the computer on the side of the Elwha valley looking at the snow gently falling and Lake Aldwell enjoying its last winter in its current condition.
I went to The U.W. clinic on Thursday the 6th for pre-op work ups (blood work, chest x-ray, and anaesthesia interviews) and then went in on Friday for the coronary angiogram. The report from all was good so the surgery schedule is still on track. I will be going to Seattle on Thursday afternoon with Carole, Benson, and Ashleigh in preparation for surgery on Friday sometime, hopefully early A.M.
I have received lots of support from friends and family and am confident that everything will work out for the best in the end. I have been told that I could be sailing again in six weeks by the Surgeon but the Nurse Practitioner made that sound a little optimistic. She said that I won’t be able to mountain bike for 12 weeks. One of my good friends said that’s just in time to go to Moab!!!! Time will tell but I will be back on the bike this summer.
Mike
