You sound great, Child. I always knew you would turn out like this. Your whole attitude said it all.
Howdy, howdy

Melissa,
Keep up the great positive attitude and you will be amazed how smoothly you will progess. Suggest for the first few weeks be very careful not to "overuse" your chest muscles. I didnt pick-up anything or open doors/windows, etc for the first two/three weeks....Do your best to walk daily. Had my AVR on 7/02/03 and today feel great, working full time, driving and traveling. Still not able to sleep a fully night, but cannot successfully whine to anyone as it seems that no one I know is a great sleeper. However, previously sleeping was not an issue for me and do expect to return to my full REM capabilities !!
Life is so precious and awesome - enjoy every moment !!

You are sounding great. Walking up the stairs and laundry. You are doing great. Just on things that are of weight, let others take care of, like vaccuming and moping floors. Take it slow and walk everyday. You must have impressed the medical staff with coming out of surgery doing so great. I did the same thing myself. Just take it one day at a time. Walk and climb the stairs to build up the heart and lungs. You are doing great.

Hi Melissa
SO glad to hear how well you're doing!!! DON"T over do it, girlfriend!!! The wash can wait. We just got back from a dog show and I'm looking at it, too, but I must have about 12 loads to do.
Be well and continue on the way you're going. Again, MUCHO CONGRATS!!!

Melissa,
I couldn't say it better than everyone else has but wanted to let you know how happy I am that your surgery was such a success! Try to remember to pamper yourself some while you can.

Hey she's doing the best she can to stay away from me so you know that's a tremendous stress relief all in its own.

I don't blame her, brother's always find a way to annoy/harass/aggravate you and then try to get out of it by playing the innocent little angel. It's one of those old saying can't live with them, can't live with out them but always love them(most of the time!)
Love ya
Love ya
