Is it my imagination or did something happen to this forum? I thought for sure I had seen and responded to a thread regarding a mid-Atlantic re-union for sometime in April/May in the DC/Baltimore area. Now there seems to be only a handful of threads. Just wondering if I'm losing my mind...

I'll try this again. Let's see if it made it this time?

Hey gang, I'm back - on the other side of the mountain and what a relief!! Although my daughter Courtney tried to keep me up to speed on all of your posts, to be honest, they all kind of went over my head or maybe into the drug haze. I have not yet read through them for myself, but will be...

Hey everyone! Dad had a quiet day yesterday. He got Pizza Hut for lunch and Subway for dinner. Eating like a king and wetting the other patients' appetites, I'm sure. The aroma sort of carried through the hospital. Exciting news. They sent dad home this morning. Unfortunately I was not...

Hi all! This is Courtney, Snoopy's oldest daughter. I got to see Dad for a few minutes a little while ago, and he looks amazing! He says he is feeling wonderful, all things considered, with just a little chest pain...could be the drugs talking! I attempted to put pictures in this post, but...

My husband, Randy, did well today with the aortic valve replacement. The doctor, who has been doing this for more than 30 years, said Randy's valve was one of the worst he has seen and he was in trouble. It is a good thing he had the surgery now! I was able to see him only for a few mintues...

Hi Gang, Well, we are sitting here in the hotel close to the hospital. Just had a nice dinner with my wife and both daughters, trying to spend some last minute quality time and just chill. You know, earlier this afternoon, all of a sudden I had a moment when there was absolutely nothing to...

Wouldn't you know, went in for my pre-surgery "teach" today and upon coming out found out that the surgeon had something come up on the 10th. So now, I 'set' to go on 18 March. We'll see. I've been pretty cool up to this point, but today, this kind of got to me. Then I thought of all of you...

Just got off the phone with the schedulers. Go in for my "pre-teach" class on March 3rd and then the AVR is set for 0830 on 10 March at the Sentara Heart Hospital in Norfolk, VA. Dr. Lenox Baker will be doing the procedure. I'm ready (I think!). My anxiety, at least up to this point, has...

Hey one and all, Just went this past Thursday to consult with my surgeon, Dr. Lenox Baker, at the Norfolk Heart Hospital. What a great guy! He came highly recommended, he did my father-in-law's bypass several years ago. He actually showed my wife and me the op report for he Dad's surgery...

Just curious if anyone out there is on coumadin or some sort of anticoagulant and also suffers from bleeding hemorrhoids? Have you noticed a tendency to bleed more when they are acting up? Anything to be overly concerned about? I am about to undergo an AVR with a mechanical replacement and am...
