After reading my medical history, the surgeon, Dr Healy, has told my daughter that he will not do the operation until I have an EKG and the appointment my daughter made for the EKG with my Primary Care physican, Dr Fetchero, is one week from today. So another week of suffering (at least) before the surgery, and Dr Healy told me it would be 5-7 days after surgery that I will be laid up at home alone! This is getting to be more than I can handle and I need you all to help me get through this as I am at a point that I am begining to see the enemy at work here, and I am having problems with that.
