Given we live an hour and a half away, and it would take a minimum of two hours plus prep time, Jen and I figured it would be an all-day affair. It actually ended up taking closer to three hours, and we started late because the patient ahead of me also needed a bit more time than they expected. We ended up getting home around 6pm as a result, so it was a good call to take the day off. https://bonesmoses.org/2023/the-subsequent-shoe/ Sun, 22 Jan 2023 15:57:24 -0600 https://bonesmoses.org/2023/the-subsequent-shoe/ Pretty much ever since my heart surgery in 1984, I’ve resigned myself to a kind of semi-permanent suspense.

Dr. Mendelson seemed surprised I’m doing so well with such a diverse and staggering quantity of heart defects. She asked me a couple times who referred me, and why I was there, but my answer never wavered: I want a Cardiologist familiar with, and who has seen many other adult congenital heart patients.
