Valerie, Sounds like you are ready. I recommend making sure you have a firm stuffed animal to hug for coughs or sneezes. My wife brought me Winnie the Poo until I received a heart bear. Otherwise I think you have things in order. We will all be thinking of you.

Welcome to VR. You will get a lot of support here as we have all been in your shoes. You should have a decent recovery period with minimal invasive surgery.Let us know if you have questions. Best to you on the 20th

Bad chordea caused my mitral problem. I was told it was a genetic defect.

Ann, Welcome to Georgia! Maybe your house selling means the recession is over. :)

Glad your home and recovering. Keep the folks with colds/flu out of your range.I can not imagine what it would be like to have the flu on top of surgery. :)

Hi Sheila, Prior to my MVR I was having eye issues such as double vision and distorted vision. Surgery cleared up all the issues. Best of luck to you.:)

Welcome back! Where you been? Was it fun?:)

I recommend you eat light the night before and make sure you take Dulcox after surgery. I did not and boy was I sorry!

My surgeon told me that there was only a 10% chance of a repair. Once he did the TEE he decided to use the DaVinci robot and do a repair which worked. In my case I had an extra chordea that was used to replace the bad one. I pray the repair lasts a long time.

Danny, Great news. Do not push your recovery. It will take time.:)

We certainly claim you as family Cooker. I for one read more than I post and I always notice when someone seems to vanish. They are missed and I wonder what happened? It is hard to explain how much this site means to me. Time for a group HUG.:)

I would set his butt on fire!

Congratulations!

No one in their right mind would allow me to moderate anything. But if I was warped to a world where I was a forum moderator I would put a huge wooden sign up on my wall over my computer inscribed with: WWRD I would let the sign be my guide to being a succesful moderator.

Kev, Welcome back. I am sorry to hear your av will need to be replaced. When is surgery?

May we never forget those who served our country and gave their last measure. God Bless each and everyone.

Gina, I am sorry to see you are leaving. This site and its members were a godsend to me when I found I would need surgery. It was members like you that gave me hope showing me that others had braved the same surgery and gone through worse trials while eventually getting back to a normal life...

Well said. Thanks!

Marcia and Adrienne, Thanks for the info. The video was amazing.

Adrienne, Can you describe the various techniques? I am not familiar with them. Many Thanks,
