5 Days Till RALRP

Hello All,

I am 5 days away from getting rid of my sick prostate.

Had to have a last minute transesophageal echocardiogram so my cardiologist could provide input to the anesthesiologist about my mitral valve prolapse (exhibiting no symptoms for that).

Also a last minute CT scan of chest. All the pre-op blood work checked out OK. Ready to go, get it done, and move on with my life.

Mike
