Hi Everybody,

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've been lurking while I was at work but I've had computer issues at home. I finally resolved them this weekend. Seems I had some virus that just wasn't letting me go anywhere. I either couldn't get on, or I kept getting booted off as soon as I tried to get on the internet. Downloaded Ad-Aware, cleaned up the screaming meannies and quarenteened the little suckers! Was finally able to run a complete defrag and now it's working fine! :D

Today is my 4th Anniversary. I saw my cardio today and he said I looked and sounded fantastic and keep up the good work. My INR was 3.5, which made me very happy. I go for my stress echo on Good Friday. I had the last one two years ago. I also saw my family doctor today to get my scripts refilled and he couldn't believe how good I looked and sounded. Knock on wood I haven't even caught any of the viruses or sinus infections that have been going around (my computer caught them instead) :(
I've gotten little sniffles, but thats about it.

I can't believe it's been 4 years! Life is great! I'm also so glad I found this wonderful, caring, informative website, VR.com. Thank you Hank, Michele, and Ross for running the show. What we have all done without you?

I hope my valves and health last as long as some of our veteran valvers!
 
Congratulations Lorraine!!

Congratulations Lorraine!!

It seems like just yesterday I was congratulating you on your third anniversary. Where does the time go?

So happy you are doing so great.

Wishing you all the best!

Hello Lorraine,

Congrats on your 4 year anniversary! May you have many more with equal or even more improved fantastic health reports.

Life is good... and hey... Your looking fantastic today....!!!

Rob
 
Nice to hear from you Lorraine. Wishing you a very Happy 4th Anniversary.
 
Gina,Ross,Cort,Christina L, Bryan B, Rob Thats Me, Steve, Karylnn, Gina M and Ben. Thank you very much.

Gina, I'd like to think I have 104 more anniversarys, but I would be happy with just 40 more like Steve said too! :D

Rob I agree, life is good! I've learned to not sweat the small stuff.

Ben, I will keep up the good work. Gina I hope I get to see you and Cort, maybe Karylnn? in May too.

Hey Bryan I like how you said that: valviversary! Ain't that the truth!

Yeah, Christina, it does seem like it was just yesterday I had my 3rd. Time is flying. Hope I get to see you out in Vegas in October!

Ross, something tells me you'll pass me anniversary wise. I was going to say beat me, but i was afraid of where you'd go with that! :p

Thanks again everyone. I knew my heart buddies would understand better than my close friends and family. They know the surgery happened, but they really don't realize it gave me another chance. 50 years ago we would all have died from this. The wonders of modern medicine and technology!
 
Hey Lorraine,
Congratulations on your 4th Anniversary. Time does fly.
I hope we get to congratulate you many more times.
I go in this Friday for my 2nd echo and checkup since my surgery 2 years ago.
Tell Carol I said Hi when you see her.
Take Care
 
Congratulations Lorraine.
Your 4th anniversary gives me hope that we will all do well!
 
Congratulations, Lorraine. Sounds like you're where everyone is aiming to be. That's good, because your wonderful post is making a lot of people feel a lot rosier about things.

Fifty or so more would be great. Keep showing us how it's done!

Best wishes,
 
Yeah...just made it up...lol...maybe I should copyright it:

Congratulations Lorraine,

I am beginning to understand how good it feels to realize time after valve replacement is a gift, happy for you. In May we can further celebrate the occasion.

Regards,
Burair
