My dude, if they re-started this cold black heart in my chest, you will be a cinch! Good mojo your way!

Hey hey, I did not see a today thread for the ole chit chat, my apologies if it exists, feel free to flambe the new guy. I am 72 days post Full Frontal as I've taken to calling it lately and feeling pretty good in general...as peeps have mentioned, up days and down days. I have another rehab...

Methinks the Lady doth protest o'ermuch...or something like that...haha

There's culture in Australia? I thought it was all criminal ancestors and angry Roos. I hear you can drink though, not like our American friends. Most of what I know about those parts comes from one of my fave shows, Flight of the Concords (sp?) New Zealand and Australia is basically the same...

Hey hey, slow down there big shoots, I hail from the people's independent republic of CANADA, not to be confused with that ***show down south right now. I think old pellicle and I have more in common with humour than might be evident to some. Most of my post was in humour...guess it's not as...

Hey hey...simmer down over there folks...you are gonna sprain your wrist with your furious typing and crazy assumptions. Did I say I wanted to 'train' at 2 weeks? Do I seem especially 'special' to you all? Lol. To clarify: 1. I am looking forward and wondering as I have no experience and y'all...

Hey folks, I have been recovering really well from my AV repair 2 weeks ago today and had followups with my GP and Cardiac team. All looks tickey boo - next hurdle being the 6 week echo, which I'm gonna try not to stress about... Anyways, my question is this: When can I expect my heart to be...

Scars are just the outward appearance of character, people are attracted to excellence, stare on folks!

I normally despise musicals as they confuse my little mind, are we acting or are we singing people?? Ha. Anyways, saw La La Land and loved it! Really well done...

Thanks again folks for the well wishes...I can't believe the difference a week makes! Feeling good and getting registered for the cardiac rehab program...should be nice to meet some older folks, looking forward to tales of wisdom...lol. My shoulders and chest are starting to loosen up and my...

The scar is the best part, I have already ordered a pile of deep v's and the Mr T starter kit for Summer! My cool factor has increased by at least 3.4%!

Haha, totally...I have been known to be one of those too!

Thanks folks! I don't remember the ventilator coming out that much so it's all good. The drainage tubes and wires didn't really hurt...just you know...if you've been there. I have this lazy boy couch with multiple different areas to get comfy, def money well spent. I'm usually a tosser and side...

Hey kids, well I made it through the surgery last week. It was a week today and I was on the table right now. I have an AV repair, with nothing else required at this time. Quite the experience from top to bottom. Thanks to all on this site for helping me with mental preparation and in the weeks...

So, today ended up being a dress rehearsal, though I definitely was NOT wearing a dress! I got all checked in and the room started getting empty and the Charge Nurse found me 20 minutes later to tell me that someone was sicker than me, so my spot was gone. A wait till 12 turned out to be a wait...

Haha. My primary concern has officially become "code brown". From experience I know this is a big deal. I will employ all measures, coffee, water, pills, exotic foods. Lol.

Angio done, no issues with the vessels so that is good. Surgery this Thursday, zipper club here I come!

Met with the surgeon today who confirmed that he would recommend a primary repair. The decision was left to me of course. It was explained that re-op will likely be in the 5-7 year range at which time it will be mechanical valve. There was no discussion of a bio valve at my age (42). I am still...

I am disappointed in this judgey comment.
