Looks great!

Yes, the Lialda (anti inflamitory) is for the crohn's...funny thing is I was medication free except immodium until the Warfarin, it is creating havoc with my bowels. I went for another blood test this AM, should have the results this afternoon...To top it off my cardio's nurse still has not...

Much appreciated guidance! I will try reducing by the week instead of the day. Is it ok to stop the Aspirin without consulting my cardio? I call his office today and no one called me back...I just changed cardios due to a lack of responsiveness...UGG.

NICE! Love the shirt!

VERY nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hi folks. I'm 4 weeks post op yesterday. I opted for a tissue valve as I also have Crohn's Disease. My doc wants me on coumadin for 3 months to help the healing and reduce stress on my heart. I had a hard time getting to 2.5. I have a lab within walking distance and have been getting...

Fantastic to hear how well your doing!

Be sure to give us an update. I'm sure your going to do great! Best wishes. Phil

Hey Jacqui. Not much to add that others have not already. It is important to have a good relationship with your cardio. Mine was not on the same page as my surgeon, did not see him once in the hospital, etc. so I dumped him. Much better now...Hope all is well. Phil

Hi Marny, I'm not much older than you (37) and tomorrow is my 4 week anniversary. Physically I feel very strong, emotionally a bit weak. I would definately enroll in rehab when the doc says your ready. Are you doing your breathing inspirometer? 3 weeks is still very early. Hang in there and...

Good for you! Best wishes and send a note with your progress.

Hey Colleen! Can't wait!

Good luck Nancy! You'll do great I know it.

Hey Jax, this is the hardest part as you know. We had a home chef come and prepare 2 weeks of meals, just had to heat them up. Money well spent after my homecoming. Best wishes, I'm rooting for you!

.5 cm in 8 months is quite a bit. My surgeon's magic number was 5 cm. I got to 4.7 and said let's get this over with. Due to some issues with my colon I had to go with a tissue valve and I'm only 37 so I will be back under the knife at some point. Best of luck! I would recomend having...

Setting the date and the wait was awful! I know you'll do great.
