Well it has been 7 years since my triple by pass/AVR surgery..in some ways it seems like it was only yesterday and some days it seems like it was very long ago.I don't post to often,, but I am a regular lurker and jump in once and a while if I can be of any help to someone.
I had my surgery about a week after Joey and I carefully watched all of Sylvia's posts. I too was affected by 9/11..I was set to fly from Raleigh NC to Cleveland for another opinion (after all why go to #5 when you can go to #1) when the terrible event took place. At that point we figured that there was a message being directed at us to stay put and have my surgery at Duke with Dr Glower.The surgery and after care went very well. I did have my right lung collapse and have had some visual weird things with my eyes..but I can't complain for a old bag who is now 77. Who knew just 5 years after my surgery we would be moving from Raleigh to Columbus Ohio.If I should have any problems.. I am only a 2 1/2 drive from CC
I need to stay strong since my Husband of 57 years (Oct 7th) has major medical issues and I have to play advocate for him all the time. I often think of Nancy and how she was such a strong advocate for Joe. Allan has many of the same issues, minus the surgeries..I may pick your brains Nancy.
This Forum has grown so large in the past 7 years. You are a wealth of information for anyone who needs it..you are a amazing group of people. You were there for me 7 years ago when I posted.. I was a terrified..really terrified 70 year old, obese, Diabetic women who need both a Bypass and a AVR (and possibly a MVR) surgery and I found the support, Love and encouragement that I so desperately needed.
There are lots of new people here who don't know me and to you I say Hello and to all my Old friends a big Hi and Thank you. I am here lurking and will try and drop by more often..really I will
Love and Good Health to All
