1 year anniversary

[terry40]

Hi all, just wanted to share my one year anniversary with you.

Hubby's taking me out to dinner, my favorite heart healthy meal is there.

Yesterday was loaded with memories, pre & post-op surgery memories, and I'm determined never to go through this operation again, fingers and toes are both crossed as I say that

This board has been a big help to me, I can't even count the ways. I'm so glad you are hear for support, answering questions, and up-to-date info, and website, Thank YOU!

I have become more involved, I joined the zipper club and have gone to hospitals to help support patients, and their family friends. I did a five mile walk-a-thon for the American Heart Association, became involved with the Deborah Heart and Lung Center in NJ.

I'm still looking for that "perfect" permenant job, I've been doing agency work, this week at an Internist office, and doing flu vaccine injections, only 70 today, but I'm enjoying the variety.


Good health to all today,

Terry40

Will be three years for me in December.

hEY THERE, Terry - that one year anniversary is so important to all of us and once we get there, we breathe a sigh of relief "We made it". Now you, too, will feel easier within yourself. Congratulations on reaching this very, very important milestone - the first one. There will be one every single year.

Congratulations Super Woman!

What are you going to do for your second, third, forth........anniversaries?

Terry,

Congratulations on your anniversary! It is nice to have the first year behind you. I think it was finally on my anniversary that I felt like I could say I had my energy back.

Wishing you many, many more anniversaries to celebrate! Heart surgery gives us all a different perspective on the things that are important in life and on how very fragile and unpredictable our lives can be.
May God bless you!

You seem to be UP and running on all cylinders and I'm glad to see that.

Hensyleethanks, your so right, it is important to make each anniversary special, I'll try to do that every year.


Mommy3 thanks, the year went by faster than I thought it would.


Ross I'm soooo far from being super woman, but thanks for the compliment


Kim Your right, my perspectives have changed, hopefully for the better, I've talked to many heart surgery patients and I feel an immediate bonding with them.


Georgia Thanks, what I've learned on this board is everyone heals at a different rate and it's soo true, your time will come!


Nancy thanks, you've been a wealth of information, thank-you for being here and always responding.


Karlyn thanks, your anniversary was this month too, 12 years, continued good health


Mamsranthanks, All cylinders are running fine, that's a very nice way to put it, best to you also!


Christinethanks, the indulgence is this meal 'cause it's loaded with grilled green veggies, and I'm not even worried about the vitamin K factor, well maybe a little
