They can do it in Cape. That’s where I live. Do you use one of the cardiology groups there? I had my replacement done in STL but have a local cardiologist. Small world . . . !

If you’re near Columbia, our son is a lab scientist at University hospital and he says yes, both Boone and University run them.

If they have a microbiology section in their lab, yes. How far south of STL are you?

Ignore my reference to people posters, I’m pretty sure that we are all one or the other.

No, I don’t think it will go anywhere near the political arena. Most people posters have enough going on in their lives that they/we lack the time and inclination to mess with a thread that has proven longevity due to its content. Are you purposely trying to be disruptive?

Glad to see you back!

Thanks, experience is a great teacher! I have a bicuspid aortic valve, one son has an aortic bicuspid valve and our grandson has an aortic bicuspid valve so I’m keenly aware of the genetic component and have insisted upon diagnostic echos for all our children. It’s difficult to accept, but since...

Jill, you mention that he has a bicuspid aortic valve and had an aortic aneurysm. You may want to learn more about BAVD and its relation to connective tissue disorder. Do you mind disclosing what type of orthopedic surgeries he underwent? I ask because our grandson was born with a bicuspid...

Good luck and Godspeed whatever tomorrow brings.

Thanks for getting us started today, Superbob. I like the thought of 09/19/19 being the first day of your new lease on life. Look out World!!! I am really working at shedding pounds in addition to upping my exercise routine. It’s easier to eat more fruit and vegetables with the seasonal...

Glad all is well in your world, Superbob, and wish things were better in yours, Paleowoman. I understand your aggravation! Regarding the recliner issue, I intend to buy one next surgery that uses a button to control the bottom section. The current recliner, bought almost fifteen years ago for...

I think most of us went through that stage of not eating, food didn’t taste appetizing and naturally we lost weight as a result. What I found puzzling in your husband’s case was that his weight loss was so much that it prevented anyone noticing the weight gain from the fluid buildup. Sudden...

@Superbob, late start to this week’s Staying the Course? Everything ok?

Way to go on #16!

Pliny the Elder expressed similar thoughts. My version is, it will or it won’t, nothing to be done either way.
