    Stroke

    Jamieann, sooo sorry to hear of your stroke. I hope you'll have no residual loss and that the few months of coumadin will help keep you safe, going forward. I know you don't want to be on it. Sorry this happened and I hope you continue to feel better and better.

    Staying the Course -- 07-26-2016

    SB, your upcoming vacation for your 50th sounds great. A fun thing to plan! And for your eye surgery, I'd do the same, seek out the best. Temps. Argh! I moved to DFW from upper midwest. Highs expected at 95-100 for the foreseeable future.

    Post op day 3 or 4

    Hope today's easier, having had that bit of sleep. I hope they do spring you today. There's no place like home, there's no place like home.

    Post op day 3 or 4

    I'll bet that was some relief, getting those chest tubes out. I certainly can't top Pellicle's video--what a hoot! I hope your roommate takes a chill pill so you can get some shuteye.

    Long-term success of ON-X aortic valve?

    Attagirl, I hate that you're having to deal with rare complications--my heart goes out to you. I hope you can get some very good answers that will help guide you to the best possible solution.

    Remarkable progress

    Passing the pee test is an interesting criterion for release. Glad they sprung you out of ICU. Hoping you feel better and better as they remove apparatuses.

    Giving myself my first Lovenox injection.

    I haven't had my valve surgery yet, but I read this with interest. It sounds like it got easier for you to carry out, after the first injection. Hope your upcoming procedure goes very smoothly, Marc.

    That sounds like a serious chore in the humid heat, Steve. Whew! 3 indoor miles. Dodged lots of people during laps around the mall.

    Hope they can get your chest tubes out before long, Fred. Good to hear by your own hand. Steady on!

    Pre surgery Tests

    Sounds like you are on the road. Yeah, it's good you'll have a heads up so you can prepare things at home, if it turns out to be open heart.

    Awesome news, Johanna! I know you all are relieved that it's over. Great to hear he's up and gaining strength!

    SB, cake would be my undoing, if I had any at home. Hope you're having a ball with your daughter and granddaughter! No coolness here, except A/C. Like a blast furnace during the day, especially starting the car! Steve, bet you'll be happy to see the fitness center again. Three indoor miles...

    Pre surgery Tests

    I'll bet that was a bit of a surprising outcome. Either one would be a solution. Are you ok with knowing it could go either way?

    Today!

    Oh my. That must have been a shock. It's good to hear you're ready to have it done and get it behind you. Wishing you very smooth sailing through the surgery and an excellent recovery, Fred.

    Fred, I hope you get some good answers about these variances. Steve, thanks for that suggestion. I go to a small gym at the senior center close by, and I've found the elliptical difficult even at it's lowest setting so I don't move it up. It resets between users to "1". Leg's really sore and I...

    Surgeons disagree

    Thanks for your concern, Rakesh. Rationally, I do know it's a life-saving surgery. I do use music as a tool and have other sources to draw from I spent many years where positivity of thinking and speaking was emphasized to the point of coercion. These days I'm more apt to authentically say...

    That's a long snooze! Hope it was good, restorative sleep.
