Hey PG. Thanks for the words of support. We are a bit thin on the ground as yet but hopefully we will grow in number. Its still early days! Yes cant wait for the match. Cymru am Byth...

Hi everyone. I hope your all well and tickety boo. Since I have started posting in here prior and post op, I was always aware of the (Donate) button next to the (Forums) tab toward the top of the page. Therefore it would seem clear that the administrators of this site incure costs to maintain...

Whats the name of the club? I cant find it through that link?

Hey Jumpy. Great news. Welcome comrade.Do you know any others out there that might be interested? Thanks Honeybunny. Appreciated. I'll sign up to the strava group now.

Come on you cyclists, let see a show of hands......

Hi everyone. I hope your all well and tickety boo. I've not been around for a while to contribute to this wonderful place as I've been incredibly busy. I can see the regulars are all still in here offering support and sound advice to people who have recently been made aware of the need for...

Hi there heartburn and hi to everyone else, it's been a while. I had to reply to your email as 'twas not that long ago I was asking all of the wonderful people in here the exact same question. Here is my tuppence ha'penny. (All) of the research and enquiry that I did prior to making my choice...

Great article.

Stonking is such a great word that is under used Anne.😄😄😄

Glad to hear things have settled down for you Mrs Bray.

Thanks AH. That's interesting re the pericardium. I didn't know that. I will have a gander and research further. I guess I need to monitor this over time and will have a full debrief with my doctor next week.

Your use of the word (maybe) is as liberal as the (what ifs) in the webinar. We all know that none of us can see our health 10 years from now. But that's not to say we will all have lukemia etc. We can't live in a mind that has written us off before we even get to the future. We have every...

Hi Pellicle I'm not offended honestly. From my (short experience) of this wonderful forum, it appears that having made a choice about our valves, we can all get a bit emotive when explaining the reasons for our choice. Sometimes it's quite clear (even with the best intent in the world) that we...

If you get the chance have a listen to this YouTube webinar. It kind of settled it for me as my mind was leaning this way prior to hearing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3RU9bIzBIM0#t=2929

Congratulations mate, inspiring stuff.......

Especially since a tissue valve does exactly that: create an ongoing problem that needs ongoing attention. That's a bit insensitive mate. The reason for writing that post was to convey that currently for me, I am in a much better position than I was a month ago, so my reasons for side stepping...

Thanks for your info guys. It's not like my palpitations are constant, they are just every now and then and they last for maybe 10 seconds. I guess I'm just unsure If it's normal or something I need to go and ask my GP about just to make sure. I know it's early doors for me post op, but when it...

I just wanted to ask about everyone about their experience of palpitations post op. For the last week (it's only been just over 2 weeks post op) I get these bloody palpitations that really give me the heebie jeebies. Is anyone else still experiencing this? Does this calm down with time? Any info...

Hi Nonohamp. As you can see the advice in her is extensive and varied and all spot on. I was in your position as recently as 3 weeks ago. I'm 44 and had quite a large aneurysm 6.1cm on the root of my aorta, regurgitation in the valve and I needed part of the aorta changed. Prior to this I'm a...

Like Paleogirl, I was given zopiclone on discharge from hospital, they didn't help at all. I've seen the doctor recently who has given me some tamazepan. So I've been trying experiment with them where I've taken a whole one, then a half with similar effects. Funny ole world I didn't take any...
