Congratulations! Here's to many more

As always, adore your perspective, @TheGymGuy! Great ideas for re-framing goals and pursuing different metrics of progress. It's all ways of going forward, just different paths for different moments.

Obviously, check with your care team about your personal circumstance, please. I did talk to my cardiologist after surgery about running, and he put no restrictions on it. I was surprised, but he was enthusiastic about me running a marathon and some other distance events. As I mentioned...

Yeah, that was my situation pre-surgery. I recently watched a video of a grand rounds presentation by Dr. El-Hamamsy and found it really interesting and helpful

Hard to believe, but 13 years ago today I was in the hospital right now prepping for surgery. I'm grateful for all the time since and to be just living life with only a daily pill and some annual check-ups. Also, grateful for all of you and the support on here back then and continuing today.

Differing definition of fun, I'll contend 😂 As others have mentioned, the time before surgery is the hardest in some ways. Fortunately, as you'll often see discussed on here, the best bit is that we have multiple options--and they all work! It's amazing we can be here and discuss (thank you...

Happy valversary

Yeah, that shoulder/rib issue hung out for a while for me, too. Glad you're doing well and onto the smaller things that are tedious but pass fairly quickly.

I've been following a bit the story of this American football player recently diagnosed with a valvular issue (don't know details) and how his treatment is progressing, apparently including a return to play as he expects to be cleared for unrestricted physical activity: Vikings' Smith 'in good...

Congratulations. Many more to you

happy anniversary

Thanks for the update. Keep up the thoughtful work.

Yes, great to see you. Glad all continues wonderfully. @Meathead TV , good to have you here (well, I mean, for a club no one opts into, but you get what I mean :)). As you can see, it's a wonderful group of people happy to share and discuss their lessons learned. Glad you're asking thoughtful...

Thanks for the update. Such good news. Smooth healing to you.

Many more valversaries to you!

Yes, we're here and sending the most positive thoughts that all continues wonderfully smoothly.

Thanks for sharing. How wonderful that things went so smoothly and hat's off for your great outlook. Do keep us updated, please, and all the best with a continued smooth recovery.

Congratulations, @SumoRunner ! You're always an inspiration. Way to adapt but keep at it

Sorry about the stress over all this. Glad things are arriving at a reasonable place. It's taxing sometimes, isn't it, the things we get hung up on post-surgery? I've had this experience, too, for what it's worth.

Well done, @Foxtail118! Great news on the progress already. Recovery is definitely humbling, as @Superman points out, but it's messy for everyone in different ways. Thanks for the updates. Tomorrow will be even better than today.
