Heart surgeon meets tee time, misses Clinton Heart surgeon meets tee time, misses Clinton Heart surgeon meets tee time, misses Clinton By Tom Watkins, CNN Monday, September 6, 2004 Posted: 7:28 PM EDT (2328 GMT) (CNN) -- If the case of former President Bill Clinton is any example, being a...

Hey Rosso! Happy Anniversary!! Two years and still ticking!! We are all celebrating with you!! Yes, no need to have my memory refreshed, either. These anniversaries are a wierd thing, you have to think about them because still, the whole open heart surgery thing is something that completely...

Hey Rosso!! I KNEW you'd remember!! You are just way too sweet!!! Yes, two years today, I have been thinking about it all day (ooo, I'd be going into the ER now, ooo, I'd be getting sliced open about now....) It all seems so surreal. Last year I got thrown from a horse, then had my wires...

Hi Jen, I was just reading your profile, and saw that you are gearing up for your surgery soon, almost two years after mine, at Mayo. Wow. Who is your surgeon there? They are a high-class establishment, and they will see you through just fine. Check out my 5/14/02 post "I'm BACK!!" posting...

I saw my x-rays the week after my surgery, and I thought, wow, how did they do that spiral job? I wondered about that for a long time. However, when I got them taken out, I was told there were seven twistie ties. So, I was duped by what I saw; I still can't figure it out. Not that I had a...

Hank! Here I thought the "visitor" was the UPS guy! You the Man, going all the way up there! Thanks for doing that on our behalf.... Rosso! You're absolutely adorable! MWAH! to you, too!! -J

Rosso, my man, you're the best. You know we love you. You just take care of yourself (and keep that stinking cat away from your O2 line!) This place wouldn't be the same without you. love, J

I had seven wires. Top ones could be seen/felt, yes, even moved around with my finger! They didn't hurt, but just bothered me seeing them. They did bang a bit against my guitar when I played, so that was just wierd. Had them all taken out one year after my surgery. The surgeon did a slice...

The hospital didn't give me a heart pillow, but I got one from a friend, two shades of pink! Then, when I had my sternal wires removed, she got me another one, all RED! That one is on my bed as we speak. I also got a teddy bear whom I named Corky, as I was having major pain every time I...

Hey Rosso, my sweetie! Thank you!! Somehow I knew that you'd remember my birthday! Getting older, getting older, but gonna have a good day! I was pondering my age, but really, I don't know EXACTLY how old I am, do I, considering that part of me is a different age than the rest of me now...

Article about CryoLife (who produces SynerGraft valves): "CryoLife Licenses Novel Technology for Microorganism Inactivation of Orthopaedic Tissue" http://www.cryolife.com/investornew.htm Down at the bottom of the page, under "Recent News", click on the 12/15/03 article. Hmm, maybe this will...

Thanks Nancy, I will ask them about this. There is no 5mg a day, that I am aware of. The smallest pill, last time I checked, is 20mg, and I am splitting that in half.... Yes'm, will do!! JEnnie UPDATE: Me again. Pharm says they do have a 10mg version, so I'll call the cardio on Monday...

Hi Dale, I've been depressed since I was a teenager, but I crashed and burned about a month after my surgery. It was like a massive emotional jet lag. My cardiologist compared it to mourning, that it would take at least a year, your body's in shock from such an invasive procedure. He said...

Good enough for me, Rosso! And Hannah has agreed to come! I'm shipping her out this afternoon. Just don't forget to feed her every now and then, she doesn't eat much.... -J

Whaaaaat??? Whaaaaat??? Whaddya mean, recruit my little hammy???!!! She would give that meathead a run for his money, that's for sure! All I can say is, Rosso, after all you've been through, to have you knocked off because some frisky kitty wanted a snack, this is MAJORLY unacceptable. See...

http://anatomical.com/product.asp?pn=SCH-4 Here's a little something for those on your gift list! Maybe buy one for your surgeon, too, so he can practice a bit before he trys things out on you! -Jennie

Hi Ryan! I just wanted to offer my sympathies to you, not only in light of the arranged/forced marriage preparations that are underway on your behalf, but also upon hearing that you are taking Fluid Dynamics. That was one dark spot in my college experience, and I feel your pain. I sincerely...

Hey Ram, How about a little Tylenol to help with the achiness? That seemed to help for me. Or a massage? I never actually got there after my surgery, but there is a place near me who does "in-chair" massages for people with medical conditions. Treat yourself for once!! Take it easy! JEn

Hey Ram! I'm SOOO glad to see you are home with all that surgery stuff behind you! Wait til Spring?? Naah, by Spring you will be out jogging and enjoying the flowers and enjoying life!! I am so happy that this thing is in the past. Take it easy now, take it slow, take it one day at a time...

Christina and Wayne, Great news! Best wishes for a full recovery. Take it slow and easy, one day at a time....! Jennie
