Just a middle of the night wake up-4 days and counting

It's Saturday morning about 4:40 and I am pretty awake. I have been doing this-jolting out of bed with a thousand things on my list to do for the day. I keep forgetting I need to have everything in place, organized for me, my business, most of all my kids, and Michael. Make sure all the bills are paid, make sure all my clients are taken care of. I cannot believe how many people I have to call 5 million times to get one thing completed!! I have been a little irritable too, so if you need anyone roughed up-give me their number or email-I am not taking much these days...That is the beginning of another blog-but it made me think of one thing that everyone has been asking me....how do I feel. That is funny because, actually, I feel great! I run up the stairs 500 times a day. I lift a 36 pounder on my hip half the day in and out of a car seat. I even hold Cole still sometimes. I run after our new pup and I just walked 60 miles without issue. That is one thing Michael asked Dr. Murphy He said, "Doc, she just walked 60 miles, do you really think we need to do this?" He explained like this and maybe it will help to understand that now I am OK. When you have a valve defect, your heart is working extra hard. It will over time gradually get worse until your heart enlarges, they valve begins to harden and becomes diseased. Mine has not even begun to harden. At this point, it is just working really hard and the floppy leaflets on the valve are starting to stretch so much they are regurgitating blood back into the heart-instead of pushing it on through like it should. Deterioration does not gradually bit by bit get worse, it can go along steady and then significantly get worse in one day. We don't want that to happen, so this is going to fix the problem before major problems set in. So, right now-that is what is causing my shortness of breath, but really-I feel great and don't really notice anything-I have nothing to compare it to really! For this, I am blessed to have the opportunity to get this done before the major complications start. The anticipation is really the worst part.

By the way-you may have noticed the new commercials for daVinci surgery now at Wellstar and Kennestone for hysterectomies and prostate cancer. Everybody is doing it!
