Hi everyone

I am Cindy, posting for Shari. Surgery went very well. They had her up and sitting on side of bed by 4pm. (was out of surgery to recovery about 1130am). Little bit of nausea last night. Transfusion to get her blood pressure up where they wanted it. She was laughing, joking and coughing this morning getting ready to eat breakfast. They ended up replacing one valve, and repairing the other. Home Tuesday is a possibility, Wed. the target date, Thurs. if conditions dictate.

Thank you for updating us on Shari's progress. Tell her the hard part is behind her. New days with bright beginnings ahead. That truck usually does not get a second go round. Tell Shari to rest easy and know that her VR family is with her every step of the way.

Wonderful news. Up by 4pm after surgery that morning...! can't believe it. I was kept sedated for more than 24 hours and was only extubated at 9 am the next morning. Hope all is downhill for you from now on Shari.

Cindy posting for Shari again. Run into a couple minor snags, and as of today, Friday, the 5th, Shari is still in the hospital. She has gone back to afib again and had a cardio version today. Supposedly tomorrow is coming home day. Other than that, she is up and walking, and generally feeling pretty frisky. Hopefully she will be here to make the next post.

Sorry Shari has hit some bumps in the road, but hope she does get to come home this weekend. Sending her all best wishes... thanks for keeping us up to date!

A-fib seems to be the norm, fortunately the dr's know how to handle that particular bump on the road to recovery. Hope Shari gets home over the weekend, it will make her feel so much better..

Hey y'all... I'm posting under my own power, flying solo at the moment. And, since I just took another loritab... I do mean what I said.

Loving this new forum look. As I feel able, I'll begin to relate some of the funnier stuff, as well as some of the unexpected stuff. It is definitely an experience.
