Hi Larry, I'm fairly new to the site, but I'm having AVR on Friday an getting fairly comfortable with the idea.. The great people in the above posts, I believe, have all the info TOTALY correct. I had to have a cath before the surgeon would see me. He had to know all the details. If you have...

Good to hear from you Allison!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you are doing so well. John

I too will be thinking of you on Monday. From reading your posts, it sounds like you have been dealing with this a long time. Good that you were bumped up!. I was backed up 3 weeks. Good thoughts for you Steve. John

Hi Jeff, had my surgery cancelled a week and a half ago. Now I have another week and a half to wait. Like they say, "it's the waiting that gets to you. Good wishes to both you and Steve who go before me. It was also good to hear the news about Allison yesterday. John

cbscqn cbscqn Hi Deux! I just found this site last month myself. It's great. I am 61 and was diagnosed with AV Stenosis 3 years ago. I too was in shock and disbelief . I was at 1.4 when discovered and now it's .8. I am having surgery on March 4. We are both lucky in the fact that it was...

Thanks for the good news Gary! John

I'm only 3 days behind you Steve. I've been trying to complete any home repair projects that need finishing up before the trip to the hospital. I was informed this morning of a plumbing leak in one of our sinks! There probably won't be any handyman chores done for a while. I am going through...

Best wishes Allison, I'll be thinking of you on Tues. I'm 11 days behind you. John

Is this calendar posted anywhere that I can see it?

I have finally recovered from the disappointment of having my surgery re-scheduled. I have had some time to come up with some questions to ask the surgeon before the operation. I learned from the Physicans Assisant today that I my asending arorta is 4.6 and I will be having a replacement...

Good luck to you . You will be fine! I was supposed to have my surgery tomorrow. Been rescheduled to the March 4. I been a member of the forum only a week. These people are wonderfull. Read every post you can. You will find new friends from all over the world. John

Thanks everyone! As the saying goes "This too shall pass" My step daughter wil not be able to come in March, but we have a large newwork of friends , so my wilfe will be fine. I don't think I will get as worked up before the next date as I did this one. Who knows, it could happen again. My...

Big disappointment this afternoon!!!! Dr.'s office called about 4:00 and cancelled my surgery for Monday. An emergency patient popped up and pushed my surgery back to March 4. Don't know how many times I could deal with this. No new heart on Valentine's day!! I fully understand the...

No table in the middle. I'll just make Gayle(wife) go fetch for me (LOL.. she better not read this)

Thanks Lyn! We have 2 lever recliners and a couch with dual push button things. Surely, I will find some comfort with this technology!! John

Thanks AJB!!!!! I'll be here for you when the time comes.

Steve, I'll just have to tuff it out with manual equipment. I will make it work! By the way, do I have to pay money to have a picture posted with my profile. Can't quite figure that out. John

Reading the post surgery page has me wondering somewhat how limited my arm movements will be when I get home. We have 2 recliners I can sit and sleep in ,but will I be able to work the foot lever by myself? Lots of stuff to think about now that it's getting closer!!

Ron, sounds like things went very well for you. Hope I do as good. Four days away for surgery. John

Thanks Lyn, We are both doing very well now. We are flying her daughter in from Texas on Sat. She only gets to see her once a year. It will be good to have her here while I'm in the hospital. I am doing very well as of right now. Not to sure about how it will be Sunday before I go in though...
