Was walking into Kroger when this really LOUD alarm went off....  i looked around to see whose car alarm was going off, when all of a sudden my phone was blinking as well.....   i forgot that I had given nurse Tori this very special ring tone so I would not miss a call from her..

Ok.... it was TORI.....  she asked if Larry would do an new LVAD patient conference.....  when they know there is going to be a new LVAD recipient, they ask a current patient to go talk to them.... i was not there when Larry's person came..... but it is a really great support thing.....

 this patient is getting a swan catheter in the morning to measure heart pressures.. ( Larry had his swan in for about 5 days before the surgery, the entire time it is in, you remain in CVICU) . He is scheduled for his lvad implant on Tuesday....   so when I got home I told Larry....   he said sure, so while I was putting up the groceries, this is how he answered Tori.....   i really like their relationship.......

So anyhow, we will go tomorrow to visit and I will try to remain outside and be quiet....  I will share my name and number with his wife......  for later questions... I am positive she will need the information later....  at this point it is OVERWHELMING, to say the least.....  but please remember them in prayers,as well as the medical team......
