Keepin' On!

[epstns]

Hey, everyone, I just wanted to share the results of yesterday's cardio visit.

I'll make the long story a short one. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis about 5 years ago, and have progressed to the moderate to severe category. No other heart issues. I'm a very active 60 year old, still jogging 4 miles a day, 5 days a week. Not fast, just fun.

Well, we have progressed to doing echo's every 6 months, as things have progressed. Every time I have a cardio appointment, I have the typical "What now?" worries. Well, this time, it stands at "Everything is just as it was last time."

So, I will keep on working, working out, watching and waiting. Next appointment not for another 6 months. Cardio says at the moment he would guess we're still 2 to 3 years away from the OR. I'm fine with that, as things are quite tolerable as they are.

I'll continue my volunteer work in The Waiting Room -- as long as I'm there for a while yet, I may as well also make it comfortable for all the others.

Thank you, everyone, for all the help and support.

Thanks for the update Steve....hang in there....the waiting room can be tough.

 

[WayneGM]

Thanks for the update. Nothing wrong with hanging around the waiting room so make yourself comfortable and take it one day at a time.

I'm glad to read that you're going to be in the waiting room for awhile longer, Steve.

I spent a year in that room, and as I recall, it was great to share it with you.

Long may you wait!

 

[Ross]

We'll see in 6! I'm not wishing anything bad for you, but I bet you go within 2 years.

I think we will need to order you a new chair for the waiting room Congratulations! Many more years of stability!

Waiting is the hardest part. I always have trouble with things that are looming over me. I don't enjoy suspense. I even want to choke those "reality" show hosts that wait 15 seconds before revealing the name of the winner or loser (the winner is...................). It's one reason why I don't watch them.

I don't envy your wait, Steve. But it sure is good to have you around, in whatever capacity you remain here.

Best wishes,

Glad to know you're staying stable my friend!

I too am on the waiting list & having an ECHO every 6 months to see if things are staying stable or getting closer to THAT DAY! I have an appointment w/my cardio this afternoon, & like you, the anticipation of "whats next" weighs heavy!

Take care & I will keep you in my prayers so that you remain this way for a long time to come still!

Steve,

Great to hear all is well - thanks for looking after the waiting room for us - BTW perhaps we need some new magazines?? These National Geographics from 10 years ago are getting pretty boring

 

[hensylee]

thanks for keeping the waiting maintained and stocked with good things.

Congratulations on your good news. Heck, by the time for you to actually have the surgery, you might be able to do it your self, from all you have learned over the years.!

 

[Karlynn]

It's the allure of being CEO of the VR Waiting Room that's keeping you feeling good.

Hi Steve,

Glad to hear the waiting room is in good hands! To you and all the others in the waiting room ..hange in there and don't worry.There is a 100% chance OHS will improve.

As Hensylee said you might be able to buy "OHS for Dummies" and DIY when the time comes.

Glad your doing well.

 

[netmiff]

no offence meant, cp, but while he's there, he might be able to write "OHS for Dummies" . Anyone got a computer they can donate to the waiting room?

I think we will need to order you a new chair for the waiting room

Just a new CHAIR?

Good night shirt tail ... isn't it about time we redecorate the place?




CONGRATS, Steve!!!!
