Congratulations on your 37th anniversary. This is so encouraging to everyone. Live life to its fullest is what my husband and I strive to do and you are living proof that this works.

Congratulations on your 37th year JoAnne & I wish you many, many more years of "ticking". Your story is indeed a story of courage, determination & triumph.

For all you newbies out there, that are facing or have faced OHS recently, John & JoAnne's post should help erase all doubts on whether you can expect a long life after OHS---Yes you can!!!!

Best wishes to both of you & take care!

Thanks for the positive post. That has always been the itch in the back of my mind. How long can you go with the valve. That gives me a goal to work towards. Thanks again.

Any recovery is difficult, but without our life partner it would be even harder.

Congratulations on another year. I wait for this post each year. My dual 23 year old valves are waving to you from a snowbank in MN.

Joann's story is certainly an inspiration to us! You can't keep a good woman down. I'm also sure that the love and support you've given her through the years is one of the best prescriptions she could have. Congratulations to you BOTH!
