Just spoke to my cardiologist’s office. My cardiologist had given clearance for the upcoming transplant surgery and also approved me stopping my blood thinner for two weeks. That was one of the last hurdles. Even though I spoke with her about it earlier, you’re never sure until the final clearance comes through.
BTW, my cardiologist is awesome. I would send her messages through the patient portal and she or her office would respond very quickly, usually the same day. Actually, I’ve been pretty satisfied with the care I’ve been getting from St. Joseph Hospital, from the ER to dialysis to regular doctor visits. The only blemish is their kidney transplant program. If the social worker had not rejected my sister for no reason, then we wouldn’t have to drive up to UCLA for every test and consultation.
