My scar from my bt shunt surgery (when I was 5) goes under my left arm and around to my back, then there's a drainage tube scar just under it (looks like a dimple). It's very faded and mostly no one notices it. I forget it is even there for the most part. Sorry yours is still uncomfortable.

Oops! We posted at the same time! LOL Sorry you didn't get to see your cardio, but glad you are feeling better today. Sounds like a little time off is exactly what is needed!

He better get himself in here and update those of us that are waiting not-so-patiently....

Sorry you had a scare, but happy things turned out okay (and you aren't still waiting to be seen).

My best descriptions: PVCs- feels like my heart has the hiccups. A-Fib- feels like I'm running a marathon in my seat.

I think I need to start weighing in on Thursday mornings... Thursdays are our crazy busy days that frequently result in eating fast food, which means that Friday morning I'm carrying water weight. So I'm the exact same weight as last week. But YESTERDAY morning I was down two pounds. *sigh*...

Scar? What scar? I don't see a scar...

Thanks, everyone! I know he's super excited to get an interview. He hasn't told anyone yet, though. I think he doesn't want to have to tell people if he doesn't get the job, kwim? But behind his back I've emailed a bunch of people and asked for prayers. Don't tell! :wink2: Oh, and Laurie...

Great news! He got asked to come in for a face-to-face interview!!!! It's scheduled for Wednesday morning. Keep those prayers coming! And Laurie, yes 19 surgeries. And only 4 of them were when I was a kid. The other 15 have happened within the last 15 years. At least I'm not doing one a...

Marsha, yes, it's the Baylor Heart Hospital in Plano.

Happy birthday!

LOL. Now you have no excuses for not remembering your anniversary! :wink2: Happy anniversaries!

For those of you who don't know (because there are a lot of new people since I was last really active), my hubby became a nurse 4 years ago. He went to school for nursing after sitting in the ICU with me after my VR, talking to my nurse. He asked intelligent questions and the ICU nurse said...

You know they have deep fried coffee and cola too? You can fry anything at the State Fair! LOL

Have you ever had Bacon Ice Cream? Nathan made some a few years ago. It was surprisingly good!

No, I meant the name of the glue, not Superbob! LOL

I've worn a medic alert bracelet for as long as I can remember. My mother got me one when I was small, and I've since had it updated (latest update was after VR. Probably need to update it with ICD info. Oops). It never comes off. Thankfully, I've never actually had to use it, but I'd...

While there are nurses like that, who don't see past the surface, I know a great many that have taken such great care of me. I had one nurse in 2008 that sat with me and let me cry over my situation for 30 minutes. She listened and cared. Then in 2009 she happened to be my nurse again. It...

Ross, that's exactly what I was thinking! If this catches on we'll have a lot of members that won't be able to meet up with Superbob for a reunion! :eek2: Out of curiosity, anyone know why that name was chosen?

Gosh, how do you choose just one? Let's see... okra, sweet potatoes, crab fingers, corn (nuggets), eggplant... Dang it, now I'm hungry!
