Justin,
Sorry about the late reply, but wanted to wish you a Happy 1st Valversary! I echo what others have said in that you are an inspiration! Look forward to reading up on your next adventure.
Thank you so much every one of you, what an overwhelming display of encouragement !
Merry Christmas or Chanukkah or Ramadan or Hanukkah or even Kwanzaa.... Either way, have a very merry holiday season !!
Congrats on the occassion of your anniversary. Too often, we focus on the anxieties that go along with this detour in our lives and pay less attention to the wonder of the experience. You help remind us of the promise that valve replacement can bring.
A late congratulations on your first anniversary
I , also was smiling when I was wheeled into surgery-don't know why(?)-
but I remember smiling at my surgeon and calling him Saint Michael,
since his first name is Michael and I was thinking of his sword symbolically.
Happy first valversary, Woodbutcher. I remember getting to know you last year, and am glad that you're still with us on VR. My own OHS was December 12th, 2007, so we celebrate at about the same time. Cheers!
