Hello everyone,

Paul wanted me to let you all know that he reread the thread of everyone?s well wishes to him last night. And that it was a great source of comfort just when he was starting to fade a little.

It?s an incredible feeling to know you have so many friends thinking about you and praying for you at such a stressful time in your life. You?re all very special people.

I haven?t heard from Paul?s friend yet, but when I do I?ll let you know.

Thanks everyone,
Rain
 
I didn't realize his surgery was so soon! I wish I had contributed to the well wishes. I'm sorry Paul, but I'm thinking of you right now and want to add all my best wishes and prayers for you.

Come back and tell me how easy it was, OK!?

Paul's Hospital

Paul PM me yesterday that his surgery would be at St. Anthony's in Denver. Anyone know their web site? Was wondering if they had patient e-mail (delivered by volunteers)

keep smiling

I have nothing but thought and prayer going out to you Paul. I hope the surgery is uneventful, the recovery quick, and your back to help Chris C, Steve E and I do something to make this forum laugh again. Get well soon my friend! ;)
 
AMEN!

AMEN!

Paul - I'll second Ross' motion to keep you in our prayers for the smoothest trip to the other side, with the best outcome and fewest complications for the long haul on the other side.

We need you to be well to help us keep all the others giggling and chuckling ;-) .

God Speed!

I have great news!!!

I have great news!!!

Paul?s valve was able to be repaired so replacement wasn?t needed!! :) YEA!!

He thought he may have a bypass at the same time... I'm not sure if that happened or not.
 
Thanks Rain

Thanks Rain

For posting about Paul.:) :) Hope it is all the way now..for good recovery:) :) Bonnie
 
Hey there 'Thriller'

Hey there 'Thriller'

Well, you did it! And what good news -- a repair job with no new parts required. That's the ultimate valve 'replacement.' And on your aortic valve to boot....you lucky stiff!:D
 
How lucky you are!!! I heard the odds to repair an aortic valve were incredible. Keep the good news coming.
 
Glad to hear it

Glad to hear it

Hey Paul - If you're back at the monitor, congratulations on a good surgery. Take all the advise you've already heard and heal up well. After a valve job, always make sure the head gasket is tight and that they changed the oil and filters too. Seriously, we're plaesed at you good report. Chris
 
Repair?

Repair?

Paul - Who's Mr. Goodwrench? I always prefer to stay with Original Equipment wherever possible, and you've just given that saying a new meaning. It takes far more skill to repair an engine than to replace it. A wonderful stroke of luck!

May the repair last longer than you need it to -- AND may you enjoy it for a LOOOONG time to come!
 
Great news

Great news

Very good news about the valve repair. Thanks for posting for him Rain. My thoughts and prayers are with you Paul. Hope you have an uneventful speedy recovery. Peggy
 
Paul:D King of the mountain! Congratulations and all the best to for a speedy recovery. You are definately one of the fortunate with your repair.

Just remember.... Coumadin will be a temporary issue for you. I am so thrilled for you. Can't wait until we meet in Chicago.

God-speed my friend! Don't forget to hug that pillow tight when you cough;) And laugh:p
 
Hi Paul,
I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well. Great news about the repair instead of replacement. I send you my thoughts and best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery. Thanks Rain for keeping us all informed.

Take Care!

Paul is doing great!

Paul is doing great!

Hello everyone!

Paul?s friend just e-mailed me saying that he got a call from Paul today. He said Paul sounded really good on the phone. :) He did have a bypass as well as the repair to the valve. He?s getting his own room today and will be up walking around this afternoon!

Our friend will be going to see Paul later today. It sounds like Paul is really doing well! I copied all the posts and e-mailed them to our buddy to take with him to the hospital. I'm sure Paul will enjoy reading them.

Thanks everyone!
Rain
