These are my thoughts from the moment I was told I needed heart surgery. This is from the heart…

I have decided, retrospectively, to write down my thoughts and feelings on this personal journey from this point in my life and for whatever is in my future. I think this will help me with my own anxiety through this time and perhaps it might help others who follow.

I don’t know were this journey will go as I don’t know for sure myself yet…

A personal journey


Getting ready

My preparation

Went looking for the bag I had planned to use for hospital and couldn’t find it…

…suddenly made me realize how little prepared I am for the operation later this week and how I have been hiding from the whole thing.

It’s not like the old me to be so unprepared.

It’s Sunday evening and finally managed to face getting ready, found a suitable bag, thanks to my wife (again) and got on with it.

Then I was able to do the remaining paperwork, print some stuff off and get a little organized. So many forms!

I had to complete a declaration form handing responsibility to my wife to act on my behalf if I was not mentally able…

I feel so bad the load I am putting on her.

I love her so much.
