    Staying the Course -- 11-30-2015

    Confession time - I've gained 10 lbs in the past 3-4 months. I have been off of my exercise routine and eating too much sugar (pumpkin pie, anyone?). I have been really busy at work. I got a new job a few months ago and I am doing my old job and the new one until late Dec. or early Jan. My...

    Heart Pillow

    I didn't get a heart shaped pillow. I feel cheated :-) Only kidding. I do like the idea of having the team of caregivers sign the pillow or a journal or something of the sort as a momento. There were so many people that cared for me. That would be a nice way to remember folks. There is one...

    Has anyone had a 2nd mitral valve REPAIR (re-repair)?

    Hi, John. I don't have anything to offer regarding your question - I just want to wish you well. I do hope you get some answers soon.

    Ventricular function and size after AVR for regurgitation

    Don, I like your thought process of having your follow-ups with the surgeon and getting to know him. I have been doing something similar for a year now. I've seen the surgeon that I think will replace my homograft 3 times now - 12/2014, 05/2015, & this week. He is a 4-5 hour drive away from...

    Cooker's Throwdown Friday .... 3-20-15

    I am down 3 lbs this week due to lack of appetite and no real effort on my part. That lovely yellow-green pollen is coating everything around here and has taken me down this week......but I am on the mend. I did manage to eat 3/4 of a spinach & chicken wrap today.

    11 year anniversary 03/19/15

    Greetings, all. Yesterday marked my 11 year anniversary with my homograft. I have had a relatively easy 11 years. I really need to get in touch with Dr. David McGiffin and thank him again :) He's now retired and living back in Australia - good for him! His standard line to me while I was in...

    2nd OHS in 3 years for AVR scheduled for 3/31/15

    Aw, Lynn, I'm sorry to hear this. It sounds like you're in a good place regarding your decision and I think you're making the right choice (although I'm sure you don't know whether to laugh, scream, or cry or maybe do all 3). I don't have any experience or advice to give regarding INR testing...

    Visual problems following cardiac surgery

    That sounds a bit like convergence insufficiency. Your feel a little strange and then your vision goes wonky. Closing one eye works to restore single vision or even moving your head, like tilting it to one side or another until your vision aligns. I visited several optometrists/opthamologists...

    Cooker's Throwdown Friday .... 3/6/2015

    Or you could have a pint of Ben & Jerry's for dinner. I may know someone that does that every now and then. In spite of my love of Chunky Monkey, Salted Caramel Core, Americone Dream, Blueberry Graham Swirl, Milk & Cookies and the like, I'm down 7 lbs over the past 6 weeks. I'll take that...

    Long winded introduction

    That's what I was talking about earlier....I used to have the camera when I was a premium level user. I only have the paper clip and smiley buttons. No more camera :(

    Peaceful day

    I'm missing the camera icon I used to have to post pictures so I've been trying to add as attachments and I keep getting a message that says I'm not authorized. Is it because I'm no longer on a paid subscription? I let my subscription lapse.

    Strawberry & cucumber salad on the menu tonight

    I'll just settle for spring instead of the crazy up and down temps we've been having where I live. We hit a high around 73 one day and two days later the high was 43! Agian, I can't speak to popularity but I can tell you it was light and delicious. That was the first time I made it. It's...

    Strawberry & cucumber salad on the menu tonight

    I'm serving this over a bed of mixed greens, alongside a roasted chicken breast stuffed with spinach and cheese. Ingredients: 1lb hulled strawberies, sliced 1 large seedless cucumber, sliced 2 tbs balsamic vinegar (I'm using black mission fig infused vinegar) 2 tbs local honey a little kosher...
