It was a long day but we finally made it to our hotel in California. We sat on the first plane for over an hour and by the time the runway was open again one of the engines would not start. So we had to start all over. They got us booked on a 3:30 PM flight but 15 minutes after I walked away from the ticket agent, I got a phone call saying that flight was cancelled and that they had us set to fly out on Monday morning. I went back down to the ticket desk and found out they had fixed the plane for the original flight and it was about to leave less than half full. We had to do the running through the airport thing to get to the plane in time.
The connecting flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco was completely full and Melinda and I had to sit apart in two middle seats. That was a fun 4 hour flight! We finally got here and got our bags and the rental car. We got a little lost so the drive through town and across the Golden Gate bridge was nerve racking but the view at night was beautiful. Tomorrow we'll check out where the hospital is a get a feel for the area.

Wow! That was a long day. You must have been exhausted when you finally got to the hotel. We were thinking of you all day and are so glad to hear that you made it safely. God bless you as you get out and about today and check out the area.
Love,
Sue
I'm glad you made it safe and sound. Thank you for keeping us posted. I loved reading Melinda's post. It reminded me of the time Al and I went through in 1998 when he had to have open heart surgery and I had to drive home from Saginaw in the dark alone after a day of waiting for updates from the operating room and finally seeing Al with tubes, wires and IV's attached all over him. You know what, Melinda, even with all that, his color was better and I felt hopeful. Love and prayers, Jan
My husband has AFib and I can so relate. It totally wears him out, and his meds are less effective, and also there are the side effects of the meds to deal with.
We are looking at his other choices.
Where is Dr. Natale practicing in SF? At UCSF? And how were you able to contact him?
Thanks very much.

Anne, I don't have a direct way to reply so I'll post the info here. Dr. Natale is working with Northern California Heart Care and from what I know is performing procedures at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and at Marin General Hospital in Greenbrae north of San Francisco (that is where we are seeing him).
Dr. Natale has a website that has some general contact info. I'm not sure what his backlog is now but he is one of the best in the country so it may be worth the wait.
