Hey everyone !

I had my 3 year check up at Cleveland Clinic this week.

My cardio reported that all is well...great echo.....everything.

In fact, my cardiologist and my surgeon are working with some doctors at CCF writing a paper comparing the different valve replacement options and what they feel is the best option for each type of person based on age lifestyle, ect......
Long story short, they are planning on using me as an example of a success story of a Ross Procedure at CCF.

Anyhow, great news and great mood all week.

God Bless all.

Hi Ben,

FANTASTIC!! Hope you have many more years of checkups like that!

Now as for using you as an example of a success story.... PLEASE... Do not let on that you turkey hunt!

On the plus side with me, I just now got back from my cardiologist checkup.. EVerything looking good on this front too, heart valve clicking "Crisply" away, all pulses check out evenly and OK.

It's been crazy here, Cristi's dad has had some surgery, and my mom was air-lifted to the hospital from Cape Cod. She is at the Boston Medical Center. They thought she was having a heart attack at the local hospital, but that was ruled out in Boston. She is in ICU, and the doctors are still trying to find out what is wrong.
Hopefully everything will be fine.

Hey, Stay in touch, and let us know if you are ever planning another trip down here. The Dunn Inn is always open for you!

congratulations!!

congratulations!!

What a good news.. please accept my heartiest congratulations...

Ben, if I am not mistaken you used to be the guy (read somewhere on the internet) who was very fond of lifting/bodybuilding prior to your surgery.. if yes, are you able to resume it?.. If not, is it because you have moved on, or because doctors/surgeons are not letting you?... Most importantly, IF yo wanted to resume it right now (considering how well you are doing), would you be allowed to???

hey in any case, great news.. God bless...

Congratulations, Ben. I remember when you had the surgery. Not long after me and Rob. This is good news.

Rob, I am sorry to hear of your family troubles, but the older the parents get, the more problems we have. My thoughts are with y'all and pray all will turn out ok.

Ann
