SB, I'm sending VERY positive energy your way for an all-clear. Waiting, for me, is the agonizing part. In my 30s I had an abnormal pap smear followed by a procedure a week or so later to resolve the problem. I then had to wait for some healing before another test could be done, then a few days...

Reporting in from Houston. Work has slowed down just a tad so I was able to check out the forum. That's a shame, SB, about the budget cuts. You are correct; enrichment programs are the first to lose funding. If the monies are redirected to protect our schoolchildren, that's OK...I approve...

epstns , I'm moving in with you so get those good meals...LOL! Too crowded at my house anyway with daughter and two grands, one of whom chats nonstop (though she remains the love of my life). I'm like you with salty food. Bought some nachos awhile back from a new local dive and almost couldn't...

There are special places in hell...

Checking in from Houston. Continue to be busy at work under new supervision but hey...job security, right? Too much very sad weather-related news of late. I can't imagine the destruction in California. We face hurricanes and associated flooding all the time in Houston, but at least we have...

Hopefully you will get some definitive answers and a quick resolution. I have not experienced any pain such as you describe. Please keep us posted.

I was 61 and out of shape (overweight) when I had my surgery in 2015. I had pleural effusion and two drawings to get rid of the fluid so I was home for 8 weeks instead of the expected 6; the fluid buildup had kept me from moving around as I should have been doing. Though I can’t say for sure...

Yea!! Don't know who you are but congratulations and thanks for posting!

Greetings all! No time to check the site while at work anymore with my new supervisor who is great but manic. Not really, but he has a full plate and seems to rely on me to deal with the stuff being thrown at him. Good to be busy. No dancing last week but I went last night. She added a Tuesday...

Monring, uncanni. I was 61 when I had OHS in Sept. 2015 to replace my stenosed bicuspid aortic valve with a bovine one. My daughter was living with me at the time but traveled frequently as a flight attendent, so much like you I was alone with my dogs and IPhone. In my case, I think I felt...

How was your dad doing up until the surgery? Was he upbeat or anxious? Did he have any signs of dementia at all? If he was at all “off”, recovery could be exacerbating these symptoms. Also, There is a condition I’ve read about here (I forget the term) that is a result of being on a heart-lung...

SB, very glad to hear your good news! jwinter, as always, best wishes for good outcomes. Superman, you are so right; uncertainty is the worst, for me at any rate. Anne, glad your heat wave broke but sorry to hear your son is having issues. My daughter has her hands full with my special needs...

(((((((((((((Vicky)))))))))))))) Sorry to hear you are dealing with this health issue. As Agian posted, we parents understand the concerns and worries you are going through. Sending positive thoughts your way. And yes, this is routine surgery nowadays and we all survived. Also, remember this is...

Sorry to hear of your worrisome test results. I have no experience in that area and cannot offer an opinion or personal words of comfort, but monitoring appears to be a sound approach. Please keep us posted as the situation progresses. I don't see a clear connection with exercise and low...

In that case, I would select the TAVR in lieu of OHS for another tissue valve. Thanks for the clarification.

I an Edwards tissue valve at age 61 in 2015. I was not crazy about being on warfarin and was also concerned about ticking. However, I think you’re too young to have TAVR and, to be blunt as you requested, my sense of your situation is that the doctors are nudging you in that direction for their...

Thanks for the update, Jimmy. You’ve certainly had a wild ride. Hope you get to go home soon.
