Hello All, Just thought I would tell you that I put on the speed burners yesterday night and my wife and I jogged back home instead of doing our walk. It was 1 mile or so in about 10 min ...REAl fast!!! LOL LOL. I wanted to try and see if my sternum and chest could endure the impact of running...

Yes, but it was actually me that did the shaving!. Thank you

Mary, I want to seeeeee yours!!! My scar is 9 1/2 inches long. When you say yours is better healed, what do you mean? Less redness? Less thickness

Thoughts are with you Yaps, waiting is the worst part.

Oh BOY, Do you have to change the windows every year??!! I heard if you clean the shingles twice a year you can avoid the issue!! :) I am trying but cannot get it to upload, any other suggestions? It is in JPEG form

OK, Here is my picture. My bump is no more and I do not think I have or had any swelling at all. Just a little redness for me :)...

Hello, Ok someone said "I hope someone with Aneurysms will chime in" so here goes my responses. Keep in mind I ma 34 and not conservative (just had surgery 5 weeks ago). I would keep any activity to a min, why push the obvious and chance it? Surgery should be done ASAP (I am not a Dr nor...

Hello all, I am 5 weeks post op and most recently have had this very uncomfortable strong heart beat in my ears every night for the last 4 nights when I go to bed. It begins when I lay down usually on my sides (which puts pressure on the chest). When I sit up straight It is not detectable. It...

Hello All, I wonder if suggesting a post of various photos of ealing incisions is appropriate? Something like one person @ 2 weeks, 1 @ 4 then @ 2mths and so on to 6 mths. I am curious as to when the redness goes away and the actual changes appear. I am 5 weeks and beleive I am healing quite...

Ross, Could you please explain your comments above? I do not understand why people have these multiple alias and what the reason for them getting banned is? Sorry I am not well versed in this?

Yes it is kind of yellowish green in color. But it seems like it only oozes when I squeeze. I guess I am getting more and more comfortable and can move alot more so with all the stretching it opens a little hole. I just want it to be closed up. thx

Hello all, I wonder did any of you experience some minute leakage upto 1 month after surgery? Like after taking a shower and putting on some dressing you would notice a drop of yellowish red liquid oozing out? It has happened to me (just about stopped now) but only at the very top of the...

Hey Mary, We are somewhat connected. I am glad to see you are experiencing some of the same traits as I am. Since the surgery I have had some real strong beats, not fast but very hard almost shakes my head. It happens mostly when I am laying down or sitting in a slouched position. Is it the...

I just had surgery 6-7 in Los Angeles (Cedars Sinai) and am recovering just fine. I am 34 and had a bovine valve put in, as well as root remodel, ascending aneurysm reapair and hemi-arch. Valve seems ok and I jsut went for my first post op MRI today (awaiting results for healing confirmation)...

What has your blood pressure been like sine the surgery? I am taking 80 mg diovan (1 time daily) to keep it at 105 or lower. My dr. feels that this is most important for the tissue.

NOt really, I used to sleep on my side and in some strange positions on my back. I really can't get to the exact positions prior but I can now sleep on my side, problem is I have to keep my arm under the pillow and it then freezes up an hour or so later so I wake.

Hello, I have been having a more difficult time lately especially nights. I can get 2 hrs of sleep at a time, then I wake up and have a hard time sitting up or moving around because I seem to be cramped up. I am ok during the day but notice more sensitivity in between my shoulder blades when...

thx, I will try I guess but what else will I do to keep the day going? BORING!!
