Yes I have my pillow and use it to cough. I am finding my butt hurts when I sit too long in one position and becomes very uncomfortable. And you are right, God has been so very good to me and I have been healing since surgery. Thank you my friend!

Did you find anything helpful for your butt (😬)? I find I can only handle a small amount of time and the “pain in the butt” haha… gets to be too much!

Thank you friend. I believe they work together. Above all, it’s the Lord who saved me and used the amazing team I had to do that. I think best to see it that way. The Lord definitely guided my steps to this team in amazing ways. So first of all, I would thank Him for doing that. And...

Can we talk post Surgery? I am still in a lot of pain. I can’t find a comfortable place to sleep. I’m so tired and bordering on depressed. I pray daily and have a areknf faith hit this journey ain’t easy. What was your post surgery like? I feel I could find comfort in how others handled...

I get to go home today. The doc said in oils stay another day if I wanted to but everything looks good. I’m just nervous. I’ll be resting mostly tonight and walking as able. They’re trying to figure home health right now but I guess offices have been closed due to the holiday.

Im not here to argue. I am A newbie anyways. Surgery was Thursday. I’ve done This all in my own. As my daughter isn’t allowed to come to the hospital so my husband has been staying with her. Is it easy? No! Do I want to be here to see her grow up and be a part of life? Yes! I found a...

Thank you! It’s been hard with my 5 year old daughter not able to come visit. And the anesthesia problem I had Monday has prolonged my stay. Crossing everything for a release Tomorrow. If not hopefully Tuesdays. My daughter has been so sad which makes MeSad!

Can you link some of the INR posts please? I know you’ve done it in the past and I apologize asking again. I feel like I’m ready to learn more about that now.

I made it to the other side! Woo hoo.! I’m in a ton of pain, I miss my daughter, but I’m getting there

Well I’m im icu. I didn’t have surgery yet. I aspirated while they were intubating me and oxygen and BP fell really low so they stopped the procedure. Hoping for Thursday!

Thank you for this and will do!

Thank you!! Good points!

Yea I’m getting the St Jude. Thanks for the advice. I’ll bring a robe and my hoodie and pants just in case. I am bringing a pillow too.

2 days out and the nerves are kicking in. I’m grateful for my husband bc his comment to me last night slapped me back to reality. He said “I’m just glad they finally found figured out what’s been wrong with you and they’re going to fix it!” I was like yeah, that’s a good perspective! I have a...

Thank you! I think I was like what?!? Bc I haven’t taken meds and it’s staying low and that’s never happened. Thanks for the responses. My cardio thinks I won’t even need meds after that it’s all been from this. It just seemed so odd to go from 160s and higher with meds to normal without...

Hi all (please be kind I’m still pretty new to all of this). I have struggled awfully with high BP that my cardio and I have worked to get down bc that’s when I get the most symptoms. I have a bicuspid valve with AVR set for Monday. He has me on edarbyclor. And I was taking metropolol but...

I used to be all about in person, but honestly I’m just too tired and exhausted! 😂 and that was even before my diagnosis. Or maybe COVID made me lazy with all of the stores doing drive ups. I do love Amazon too 🫣 I think I very rarely go into the store now except for some groceries or I am...

I was at the ER the other night for high BP and symptoms. My surgeon called me today and said if it continues they’re going to push up my date to Tuesday or Thursday. If I’m able to regulate, I wait until next Monday. Not a huge biggie, but my husband is so worried about me he’s rather they do...

They gave me muciprin (sp?) ointment 2 times a day for 5 days. No re trst

It’s all helpful. I might also be a bit on edge as my BP is quite out of control right now and just nerves in general. I have read as much as I can and some of the wording and numbers I don’t understand but I did see in that one study both valves were studied at the same INR 2.2-2.8 which I...
