Hi Carol, Thanks for the update! It sounds like Jerry's doing great, other than these couple little bumps. My heartbeat was pretty fast in general after my surgery. I remember waking up to the surgeon and his crew, from a deep sleep, with my heart rate over 90, and he asked me what I was...

Yes Rain, I did not mean to put down the Boy Scouts. I think they are a wonderful organization; there are three generations of Eagle Scouts in my family. This is why it was such a surprise that things didn't pan out with my car. Hopefully that was just the exception to the norm! Jennie

Hi Georgia, No, I haven't had anyone show up to cuff me yet. I say that jokingly, but a friend of mine spent a night in jail because of a similar incidence, until he somehow proved it wasn't his car anymore. I really should call up Harrisburg or the MotorVehicle Dept in Maryland and see if...

Here's a little funny story: I donated "Harriet the Chariot", my last bomber of a car, to the Boy Scouts (you've heard of them, right? America, Mom, and apple pie?) They towed it off along with my signed title, saying that they would take car of the paperwork. Two months later I get a call...

Peggy, I will be praying. Hang in there. Keep us posted. Jennie

Hi Carol! I just love reading your posts. Thanks for all the details here. I am truly amazed that Jerry was watching TV and even got out of bed while in ICU. All I did was watch the clock and pray it would go faster. I am so glad to hear that he's in a regular room and walking and having...

Hi Carol! I was hoping you'd email! I am thrilled (and relieved) to hear the news! I was thinking about you both all of yesterday and today, wondering how things were going, and thinking of you as you were sweating out the hours in the waiting room. It sounds like Jerry is progressing...

HEY BONNIE!! WOOHOO!! Congratulations on your Big Day!! Certainly beats last year, huh??!! I bet this is one year that you aren't sorry to say goodbye to. I hope your one-year checkup (if you are having one) shows that all is A-OK 100% and doing great! It's been great to get to know you on...

Hi Nicole, The pumphead scene must be a real drag. I can't say that I feel really pumpheaded, but I do have some trouble with names and phone numbers, particularly ones I haven't referenced before my surgery. At work I used to be able to dial up people without consulting the phone book, and...

Hey Rob, I just had to join in to congratulate you on your three-year mark! I'm glad to hear the news is all good! A big relief, I am sure. You are one of the mainstays of this site, I know you have answered many a question for me in the past, and I wish you all the best! Jennie

Hi Jerry and Carol! I just thought I'd pop in and wish you well this week. I'm praying all will be smooth sailing, less fearsome than you imagine, and over before you know it! You are in great hands. Recovery won't be the easiest time, but after this week, all the anxiety and questioning...

Hey, I am all for this! And how about those of us with the SynerGrafts? Aren't we part of national research? So shouldn't we get some sort of stipend?? ;) :p

Rosso, I believe the key word here is "TRYING". I ended up saying "good enough".... Steve, I like your method better. Probably more accurate, too!

Well, that should be easy, Ram, huh? The Big ZERO, NONE, NOPE, SORRY....? But my guess is that doesn't work. YOu have my sincere and deepest sympathies!! -J

RAM, I'm very sorry to hear that you're working on a Saturday! Especially at the IRS! John, it was incredibly ironic! "VALVES"?? Everywhere I go!! The other day I was on the phone trying to place an order and not having much success due to discontinued items, and the woman said, "Yeah, it's...

This week at work, I got called down to Shipping and Receiving, being told that there were three crates that had been delivered to our building, with my telephone number on them. THREE CRATES??? So I went down to see what this might be, surely some sort of mix-up. So I took a look on the...

Hi John! (and Steve!) Thanks for the info here. How do you find all these SynerGraft articles? Are you on some kind of mailing list or something? If so, I would like to know. Everytime you post an article, my heart almost stops, until I read it and see, no, all is still well in the...

For YOU, Rosso, a photo. Don't laugh too hard....! -J

Yo Rosso! I was too buzy to get on the board on Tues, but I hope you are having a happy bday week!!! JEnnie

Mr. Rogers.... There goes my childhood. Really kinda sad to hear about this, he was such an upstanding guy. Now.... who's gonna feed the fish???
