I received a call from my surgeon's office - Dr. Edward Verrier. They are moving the surgery over one day to July 15th. However, they have me seeing the Electrophysiologist on July 2nd for a consult about what to do with my defibrillator. My defibrillator needs to be replaced and the leads are actually causing my tricuspid valve to leak. They will need to address that now.
I also need to go over the gameplan with Dr. Verrier on July 10th. I will also go to a pre-anesthesia appointment where they will draw blood and tell me where and when I should come for the surgery.
My name is Dennis. I'm a Korean/Canadian born in Prince Rupert, BC. I grew up in Vancouver's Lower Mainland but I live in the Seattle area and I work in the software industry. I love hockey and football. I'm 38 years old and I will be having my 5th open heart surgery on July 15, 2008.
