Location:
Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida
Monday February 9th
Echocardiogram
Tuesday February 10th
Blood tests (no eating for 12 hours)
Consultation with Cardiologist Dr. Joseph Blackshear
TransEsophageal Echo Cardiogram - Also know as the Garden hose down the throat test, see my earlier post.
Wednesday February 11th
Cardiac Catheterization - This sounds like no fun at all.
Surgery preparation including shaving large parts of my body that I prefer not to have shaved.
I may or may not stay at the hospital Wednesday night, that will be determined by the doctors after the catheterization
Tuesday February 17th (changed from Thursday February 12th)
This is the big day. My surgeon is Dr. Kevin Landolfo
I expect to be in the hospital about a week. My recovery at Mom & Dad's house should take four to six weeks.
