That's great news Jim! I should have done the same thing, almost got me in trouble. Over 19 years ago I had my yearly echo and a stress test. I'd been having echos for 10 years and never had any kind of symptoms. My cardiologist said all look good, told me to come back next year. Four...

Jacqui, Glad it went ok. I've had several stomach endoscopy's. I thought the worse was the taste of the stuff just before the scope. During AVR I had lung problems and the last time the doc looked in my lung my wife was in the room and he invited her to view down in my lung. I was wishing he'd...

Sounds like the "ab ripper" really does what it says. Good luck with recovery.

Marsha, Betty originally bought that one for a cosmetic bag at JC Penny. It's too small for medication for two week cruises. She recently ordered us a new one from Ebags for medication. Besides our normal medication we carry a several other different prescriptions.... just in case.

My first flight with my new valve was when released from the hospital for flight home. (but may not had scanners back then) Have made numerous flights over the years with no problems. Also been through many other scanners on cruise ships, DC, etc. Some airport security look a little confused...

Now that is some machine! Sure beats a chain saw and splinting mall. After we moved to AR I thought it was so neat having all the free wood and all I had to do was cut, haul and split it. After a few years the fun wore off and I installed a gas log. Now if I had the gas log at our farm it would...

Marie, good report! Hope it continues.

That is a beauty and a great shot!

Good luck with the gastric ulcer. I had a duodenal ulcer the year before AVR. Up till then I thought I had a cast iron stomach for never had any stomach problems. Then one day notice my stools look like tar, still no pain. GI doc used emergency endoscopy to stop the severe bleeding. He later...

Glenda, your job is enough to give anyone high blood pressure. It increased mine reading about it. I feel for you and good luck with the gout.

I premed before ALL dental procedures. I wouldn't use a dentist that didn't agree. My "research" shows premed has worked for me for almost 19 years.

On the third trip to ICU I spent 5 days. My room was all glass on one side, with double glass doors. I was pretty much in and out, mostly out. I wrote my wife several notes for I was on the ventilator all the time. One note said that during each night the doors would suddenly slam open, the...

Over the years mine has been all the way from 1.9 to 7.1.... did not feel any difference at all.

The Kytostat bandages look good. Says it's the same blood-stopping technology the Army uses in Afghanistan and Iraq. Might be something worth having. Wonder if I could have got one to stick to my tongue the time I almost bit the end off. :D

Interesting pictures! Thanks for sharing. I have a picture folder of signs but only a few highway signs.

My last shipment from Tapestry/QAS was 4 days by First Class. Back when it was only QAS, I received shipments overnight.

Happy Birthday Marie And here's to many more! Sorry I was a day late.

I asked that question many years ago and was told it had no effect on valve calcification. Welcome to the forum.

Way to go there Hank! Hope you have many more trouble free years.
