La Jolla , CA

February 10-22, 2013
We came down to La Jolla so that Joe could have testing, etc. in preparation for a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) at the Scripps Green Hospital. He had a stent inserted into an artery and medication to remove fluid from his legs, ankles, and heart and lungs. He was discharged on the 14th. We're staying at the Santa Fe Park RV Resort, a Passport America Park. We'll stay here until he sees a cardiologist again on the 21st. Guy came down for a few days and was great support. We visited Liz and Fred who cooked us a delicious dinner. We had lunch with Tom Smith and a Sunday Brunch at the Crab Catcher with Marta and Wally. We will go home and return for the TAVR procedure scheduled for March 7. Joe should be a new man after that!
