It's been 2 years...

[terry40]

since OHS, I was at a wedding this afternoon/evening at a beautiful mansion in PA.
I never thought twice about it, while dancing all evening long.

The one thing I've been saying constantly since this event 2 years ago, is that I never want to go through it again. So I'm very careful about meds, levels, and Vitamin K.

I do however wish I could lose some more weight, and be deligent about exercising. Stress is another problem, but these stresses are out of my control.

My scar has been slowly fading, and only bothers me once in a while.

I know that without this surgery I could have died, with all the tumors surrounding my mitral valve, along with the prolapse of both leaflets. OHS is much better than dying!!!

Thanks for being here, this is the best support group ever.
God Bless, and may we all have many, many more years!

Congratulations on 2 years!

I'm well aware of what you mean by not ever wanting to go through it again. That's the one thing that eats at my mind all the time, because I've had to go at it again, so it's entirely possible that even now, it's not out of the question in the future.

Hope you enjoy life and don't have to do it again!

Terry, you sound great. We have been given a great gift that needs to be enjoyed and it sounds like that is just what you are doing. Stay well.

Hi Terry
I also want to wish you the best on your 2 years.
I along with everyone else hope to not go through
it again, but it sure does beat the alternative.
Congrats Terry.

Happy 2 years. What a way to realize - dancing at a wedding you would not have been able to attend but for OHS. Things seem relatively easy on this side of the mountain.
I am a few days away from the 24th anniversary of my first OHS - yikes. It seems impossible that it was so long ago.
I never wanted (or thought I would have) more than 1 surgery since I got a valve that "would last forever". However, fate decided to test me.
I would not hesitate to have more surgeries if needed. I am happy just to be here.
Smiles,
Gina
