Well I'm back ...

[Allisoninoz]

Hi all - I won't write much as I'm still so tired but wanted to update sice garys post after op. I am now day 5 post surgery. I started feeling a lot better on day 3 and immediately overdid things with moving and visitors. I paid for it on fri and even yest a bit. Not much of an appetite yet. Just thirsty. My kidney function isn't great and I'm retaining fluid so am on med for that. I put on 7 kg after op! Have lost 4kg so far.
I want to thank you for support over past few months and no doubt into future. I can feel and hear a really strong heartbeat now and then. It's weird! Talk soon.
Hang in there everybody. It will get better ...

Welcome back Allison.
It's not uncommon to feel a pounding heart beat in the months after surgery, until your heart becomes accustomed to the new valve with its lack of resistance and remodels.

Awesome to see you posting already...simply awesome!

Allison - Welcome Back! I knew you'd do fine, and I'm glad to be proven right. Don't over-do it, though, as you don't want to slide backward and have to miss out on any of the fun to come.

Glad to see you back "on the air" so soon.

Go Class of 2011!

Alison,
Great news! Remember now is the time for you to focus on three things: Eating, Sleeping, and Walking.
Don't overdo any of the above.
Take care,
John

Worth repeating: Don't overdo things....it will come back to bite you in the butt. Rest, you earned it.
