The earliest date will be March 21st. We've ran into a obstecle. I met with the kidney surgeon yesterday and he had not received any x rays from my urologist but that's not the issue. He saw on the info from when I went to the ER back in Oct. from the CT SCAN done then that there is a blockage in 3 of my arteries doing into my heart called Prominent 3 vessel coronary artery calcification. What I understand that to be is there is calcium build up in those arteries vessels. He will not do surgery until he receives word from a cardiolgist that the survey will be safe. I'm awaiting for an appt. from a cardiologist to get a stress test or what else they need. Have any of you ever heard of this or had it. It has become very frustrating for me. No one informed me of the blockage. I just don't get that. You can imagive the look on my face as well as my wife's when I was informed of it by my surgeon. I know these threads are getting old and I hate putting them up. The reason I do is because I know all of you care. It's really hard writing this and I'm still asking for positive thoughts and prayers. I'll tell you one thing it better not interfere with Duke basketball or I'm gonna be pissed . Thanks once again for your support, prayers and patience with me. OFC
