I think I will miss the afternoon naps too once I get back to work...lol ;)

Sorry to hear about your bout with the infection, they can definitely be nasty. Sounds like your stress from work isn't helping either. I hope you can kick the infections butt soon. :) Best wishes!

Congrats on the all clear! I got mine from my surgeon today, 5 weeks out from my TVR and PM implant. I can go back to work as well, I fix computers so not a lot of heavy lifting anyhow and I have been working from home since the first 3 weeks post op. Doing good only issue I have is getting used...

I would say as long as the doctor released her and said it was ok. The PM would closely monitor her and kick in if needed, If she is not paced at 100% of the time. Probably less chance of her having a heart issue then one of the other kids without a PM.

Hello and Welcome! :)

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!

Also you may want to go to an ER or Doctor because usually if you haven't had one in awhile say 5 years they will recommend a tetanus shot.

It seemed after my OHS besides the normal incisions I had some other bruises and scars or knicks. Not exactly sure what they do after they put you to sleep but it looked like they poke and prodded me all over. :)

I went and got a second opinion from a more experienced surgeon and he said he...

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!! :)

I just started noticing the same thing, I am two and a half weeks post op and went in last week to have my pacemaker adjusted. Well I had heart block after surgery but when I went in to have the pace maker checked they said my heart was working on its own. So they adjusted the pacemaker to wait...

I would say like everyone else, check with your doc, I am currently on lasix and have no fluid restrictions. You do have to make sure you do not dehydrate though which can lead to low BP if you are on other meds.

Hello and welcome to a great site!!! :)

I am 45 and had the porcine valve, I guess for me because I didn't have a choice it was easier. My doctor recommended only a tissue valve in the tricuspid position. I think I would have went with the tissue anyways because I ride motorcycles and do alot of stuff around the house. Although others...
