Harriet

I remember my second much better than my first. Even though i had been through and lived i went into my second at peace with dying.

Of course I didn't die and neither will you.

My thoughts are with you on this trip and i believe i will be seeing your post recovery posts soon.

So make peace and go willingly, accepting what may come. I know you will emerge as from a chrysalis.

My best wishes are with you

See you soon

I'm excited for you Harriet! Soon you will be on the other side and living those 20+ years to the fullest. Like you, I tied up all loose ends and that helped give me a sense of control and peace with it all. You have many people sending you positive thoughts and energy.

All the very best for you Harriet, both for Christmas and for the 5th January ! I had my AVR on 6th January 2014 so I'll be thinking extra, extra special for you on your big day !

 

[harrietW]

Thank you all for the well wishing thoughts and prayers. I have total faith. However l am also a realist. My sister passed suddenly in May leaving her only son in a hell of a mess. I have watched my nephew actually walked him through a very tough 6 or 7 mths. So like you honeybunny l think it's important too, for me to tie up loose ends to give me a peace of mind and know that things are clean and straight forward. And a lot less complicated.
I so look forward for this to be behind me and l will see this thru the other side. I've got some dancing to do.
Grand children to meet and l wanna no what it feels like again to breath without struggle and shortness of breath.

Paliogirl happy anniversary l will be thinking of you. Xx thank you for share your experiences with me and your kindness you too honeybunny you lovely ladies have been so kind.Xx
Thank you Pellicle and Seaton for your words thoughts and encouragement .. l will clearly be back on site looking for information on recovery. Xx And who better to give it. Thank you

Harriet it's just another bump in the road. I remember before my surgery I didn't have much peace of mind about my health. Not that I was really scared but you live with the thought that you could die any day. After surgery it is the "other side", it's a new lease on life. You can run or do strenuous activities without being mindful of your heart anymore.

Everything will be fine.

Merry Christmas friends hope your hearts are full ❤

My heart is full.
My spidey senses tell me you'll be fine.

All positive thoughts will go with you, Harriet. You are well prepared and should do fine.

Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year.

I agree, l feel much more at peace knowing that l could soften the blow for those that l love by trying to make it less stressful and much less complicated. Not that you can ever prepare someone completely but l am at peace taking care of business.
I will continue to post up to and soon after God Willing.
Merry Christmas and best in the New Year

Best wishes and Merry Christmas Hariet. For me, once all my affairs were in order prior to surgery, I found great comfort in letting go of all worry. I didn't worry about surgery or how it would go. I had taken care of "everything" I could and the rest, well, that was out of my hands. I stI'll had nervousness, but that was to be expected of course. But i didn't worry I put my trust in faith and the universe.
