The saying “You never know what a day will bring …” is very true. This morning Jerry’s doctor came in to talk about his procedure. It was more about describing the difficult procedure that was scheduled earlier and making Jerry in the second position for the day. As it turns out, the patient ahead of Jerry was a man from Florida who had had three of these procedures done in Florida w/o success; he has come to the center in Indianapolis to have this done, seeking a resolution to his very complicated electrical system difficulties in his heart. In planning this procedure our doctor said that it may take 6 hours and even into the evening to complete it. This poor man has not only tachycardia but a-fib and other complicating factors.
Our doctor didn’t know that Jerry had been added to today’s schedule until early this morning. Knowing the difficulty of the other man, he knew he would be too exhausted after an all-day procedure. After the explanation, we understand and would prefer to have a rested doctor before such a procedure as this. Jerry is now scheduled for his rather uncomplicated procedure (as compared to the Florida man) on January 15th. Jerry has been feeling well all day today and wanted to go to work, but it took about 5 hours to be dismissed! He worked some from home late afternoon and through the evening.
Thanks for your prayers and emails. It is so comforting to know our family and friends are praying for him. We expect him to go thru his rather simple procedure and will come thru it easily on the 15th.
Judy and Jerry
