Good luck and keep positive - the BEST way to recover!

Great idea this, but sorry for the lengthy reply in advance. So - took a plane to Amman in Jordan. Then got on another plane to bring me to Riyadh in Saudi. Am here in the middle of the desert installing a giant amusement park which will run for the month of January, and then get home mid-Feb to...

Maybe you did, but in order to watch yet another bloody Liverpool match........?? Haha - well done old chap! Join the club, and you're damned welcome to be a member.

My input - 4 what its worth..... Despite my youth, I can't finish a day without a jolly-good spliff. I have one or two in the evenings - every evening. I am teetotal, so this is my 'vice' (apart from all the others..... ) When I was admitted to hospital in a state of near death, they took a full...

Incoming adult joke (don't read if you can't handle it, as offensive reposts will be massacred!!) Do you know what Bill said to Ben? Bill: Flobbedee le blob a dee blob Ben: Okay, then, if you really MUST swallow...;...

Jeez - thats quite a cocktail. Hope it works for you.....

Hey all - I JUST found the perfect pain relievers. Pull up a chair and listen closely........ Firstly, you go to the forest and find ypurselves some magic mushrooms. Hydrate them a little (when you are home and safe from marauders or gangsters) and then slowly chew them. BTW - don't EVER take...

Hi Nick No - sadly I suffer fromAnkylosing Spondilitis, and have been for 25 years although it was only diagnosed last year! As a result - much structural damage, difficulty walking and also - more importantly - difficulty breathing as my ribcage has now seized-up. As to whether this was...

Well - hello fellow sufferer!! I have the same problem, due to Ankylosing Spondlitis, and my back and neck are genuinely ruined. But due to Warfarin, I am also stuck for pain relief. What I take is a capsule that is combines Paracetamol and Codeine. I have no idea whether you can get these in...

You'll NEVER guess what my Ex said to me..... Because I hadn't done the vacuuming of the house, she screamed her head off at me and told me to drop dead. So I thought - "i'll teach the bitch" - and I did indeed drop dead!! But as I don't like cutting off my nose to spite my face, I thought...

Hi Emma and welcome to our world... Not a long message, but just one more word to say that it is all cool, and that provided you stick to taking a couple of pills per day, there is not much to worry about. The ONLY issue I potentially see, which has not been touched-on so far here, is that if...

Great news, and long may the improvement continue...

Not wanting to put the fear of god into you, but a potentially early warning by telling you of my own experience. The chances that you have the same or similar is somewhat (or highly) unlikely, however you never know.......... Prior to my twin valve replacements, I was - as you say - SOB. I...

Although Pellicle doesn't need seconding, I will second what he says. Just had my 3rd annual post-op check, and cardio doesn't want to see me for 2 years, unless there is an issue. They (including your own doctor) will listen to whether there are leaks, and the pump is working properly, but all...

A serious post from me, for a change!! I was wondering whether anyone else was suffering from this issue and if so, has anyone found a solution? Ever since my life changed and I had my two beloved valves installed, I find myself crying at almost everything. I am in the middle of watching The...

A REALLY interesting discussion, and thanks once again Pellicle for being so (thankfully) anally retentive in your detail obsession! When I first started using Warfarin, the warfarin nurse (yes, the hospital had a dedicated one..) gave me the full official briefing. But in the end she just said...

So, I see there has been much positive messaging here, and that is a good thing. From my side, the best I can do is to point you to an earlier post of mine. The lesson? Try as best as you can, to take this as lightly as you can...

I can't comment on your valve volume, would need a db monitor, but here's a story I posted last year. If nothing else, it will hopefully help you smile. One thought - as long as you trust your cardio and they say it is all okay, then just go with it...

Aside from the total unreality of it all - it sounds like bloody heaven!!!

In fact - I didn't !!!
