I can't express enough joy at the encouragement all of you bring me. I am going to see a heart failure specialist next week. He is in Chapel Hill,N.C., about 3 hours away. He is on the cutting edge of research and treatment of patients like me. I think he will bring a fresh perspective to my case and maybe even have some ideas that can help me. I'll keep you posted and again thanks to all of you that send good thoughts and prayers my way.

Hey, don't be Bogarting all that info. You better share with me.

 

[lb151]

I hear ya,,you will be the 2nd to know.
I do not bogart!!

 

[netmiff]

That sounds good, a fresh perspective is always a good thing. Hoping it helps!

I certainly want to put in my two cents for you to look at the positive side. I want to point out how great Ross looks in his Photo/Avatar here ONLY 7 years after being at death's door.

You already, look pretty good in your Avatar, so I am very positive things will get better--Now I know Ross is going to change his Avatar on me, but his improvement has branded my retinas with his improved situation.

Kidding aside, we are all pulling for you and glad you are here to post with us a year later.

All the best and congratulations we do all know what an ordeal it is and has been.

come back often,

Bill

I have to confide in you,, true story,,,when I first came to this site,I actually thought that WAS Ross. I didnt have a clue as to what an avatar was so I simply assumed that was his real photo. (please dont tell him I said this),,,,LOL

 

[AldridgeBill]

Some guys just try to impress with really cool photos of themselves, this is Ross. You gotta know there are not many guys that look that "good," he is just trolling for hot babes! He used to change his frequently, always funny. At one time I was tempted to keep a log of his Avatars and post them as a collage sometime. But, alas, I procrastinate.

Actually, there were a couple of guys who had great athletic bodies and posted them and the ladies did enjoy those as I recall. Not to mention any names, but I think RobThatsMe was one that had a beefcake shot and there was another, I just don't remember? And then maybe I am just having some kind of drug "flashback"--or the mind is one of the first things to go??

Enough silliness, sorry again, Dave, for hijacking your thread with such!

Happy first anniversary. May you have many many more.

I am celebrating the first year with mixed emotions. I am so very thankful to be here but have not progressed like I thought I would . I had my echo Monday and the numbers just seem to be getting worse. I had high hopes with the new valve,things would improve. The damage to my heart is just too extensive. It always takes a few days to wrap my head around the news and get back to my happy place. It takes a lot of work to be strong but I know down deep inside myself I will find what I need to move ahead.
Thanks to all the folks here who encourage each and everyone that visits. I dont speak out much but it is so comforting to come here and read about people having the same daily struggles and prevailing over them.
I will have my pity party and move ahead!!

isn't it wonderful to know that we find that inner strength when we need it. I am sorry you aren't as good as you want to be, but heart damage remains with us, doesn't it? mine's there, too, but we plug on and finally reach where we need to be. with maybe some naps thrown in......
