Superbob, I am so sorry to read about Sadie. No amount of preparation or understanding on an intellectual level that it was time seems to help with the pain associated with the loss of our little companions. So sorry also to read about the loss of your little friend, DachieMom. I lost my Bradley...

Hoping for the best for Sadiedawg, Superbob...and that your dental procedure is not too painful or traumatic. I still have a month to go before I can return to the dentist post-op. I know I have a couple of issues that will need attention including doing something with the blank space where I...

Normal for gradients is low or none. Before my OHS, my mean gradient was approaching 40 mmHG, when I became symptomatic. Post surgery my mean gradient is 7 mmHG. Your gradients seem quite high for a replacement valve. More information about gradients can be found in the ACC/AHA guidelines...

Superbob, we love and depend upon our canine companions so much. It's painful when they are in pain, or when we eventually have to say goodbye to them. It seems like only people who have wonderful dog companions can really understand our pain when something happens to our dogs. I'm sure it was a...

Superbob...good to read about you and Sadiedawg... Got my first post-op echo report (4 months) today...what can I say...just perfect! Summary 1. Left ventricle: Size was normal. Systolic function was normal by visual assessment. Ejection fraction was estimated in the range of 55 % to 60 %...

great story ...congratulations!

Glad your check-up went well, Steve.

Superbob...glad to read that your son's surgery is completed and he is on the way to recovery. Like you I'm trying to stay positive and not let some of life's disappointments drag me down. One thing that I read recently resonated with me. "Never dwell on past mistakes or regrets...learn from...

Request full sedation and you will be fine.

Had a nice salad for lunch the other day. Cashews were one of the ingredients. I didn't finish the salad but I did search out all of the cashews and eat them :) It's been a quiet week here at the seashore. The weather has been spotty with some days filled with sunshine but others cloudy and...

It depends. I asked my surgeon about returning to diving post-op. He told me "no restrictions." So I plan to resume diving after I feel fully recovered. However, I am not on anti-coagulants. I got a tissue valve. I have read somewhere that if you are on Warfarin that is a counter-indication for...

Happy 4th of July Superbob et al. It does seem like a holiday weekend brings with it too many high calorie temptations. But we can climb back on the count calories wagon Monday morning. Last Wednesday I had my first post-op echo and follow up with my cardiologist. I got a great report.. The...

Sorry to read about your friend, Superbob. Also hoping that you feel better, Dornole. I got the folks at the hospital to allow me to push harder in cardiac rehab. I developed a couple of episodes of PVC's while my HR was up, so they made me pause until things settled down. I didn't get any...

I don't have a fitbit but I do use a Garmin smart watch that is designed for exercise. You can use it to compare/compete with others, but I just use it to track my daily number of steps, walking pace, etc. Completed my first week of cardiac rehab at Brookhaven Hospital on Long Island. I like it...
