Dear friends, as promised I am posting this request for prayers in that after almost two months of preparation and tests, etc. I will be having heart valve replacement on Wednesday of next week, March 20, 10:00 a.m. PT. in our local hospital. This is done by a team of cardiologists who specialize in TAVR which is the newer less invasive type of heart valve replacement now done on elderly people who qualify for it, which tests, etc. show that I do. Recovery is supposed to be easier and faster this way as compared to open heart surgery. In time I hope to let you know here on the forums likely in a "praise" thread how I am doing. Meantime please pray it goes well this next week and recovery not so hard. The new way is supposed to be much easier on elderly (I am soon 82) Please, just pray..medical advice I already have from experts. God has been with me through this all and I am trusting He will be with me as I get a new heart..not only physically but also a better one in which to serve Him too! Thanks so much.
