All I can say is BRRRRrrrrrr.... All I can say is BRRRRrrrrrr.... I live in Wisconsin and it has been incredibly cold here. I know this because when I walk to class in the morning and my eyes are watering so bad I can't see where I'm going...something is not right:p Maybe I should just stay...

Yes, I just saw the commericial for Good Morning America, and how Anna Nicole's mother was going to be on there, and something about her fighting to get Anna's daughter...but does anyone think that is a bit odd:confused: I mean no where ever in the press did it mention Anna was that close with...

Anna Nicole Anna Nicole I just read about the passing of Anna Nicole and I am not surprised that this happened so soon in her life:( . It is sad so say and I have felt sorry for her for some time, but her life was nothing to envy. Personally I think her death had nothing to do with a heart...

Hi Greg. Sorry to hear that he does have a heart defect, but you are right, more then likely he won't have to worry about it for a long time. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, and I just now had to get mine fixed and I am 25. (And that is only because of my high-risk pregnancy...so who...

Hi Greg. Sorry to hear about your news. I don?t really know what to say to make you feel better, all you can do is wait until there is news from the cardiologist. Like everyone else kinda mentioned, it might just be nothing. I was born with a heart murmur and had my first OHS at three months...

Thank you guys for all of your responses. It does feel good knowing that I have somewhere to go when I need a friend to talk too. What you guys have said has made me think a lot about how I feel. I don?t blame my friends for not understanding, I just think that apart of me has really changed...

Hi Alex, I just read your message and wanted to say hello and wish you luck. I went through life with a heart murmur too, and just last year had surgery to correct it. So far I?m on my third open-heart surgery, and I do have to say it?s not as bad as it sounds. Of course I had the first two...

Just wanted to say hi. Just wanted to say hi. Barbara, Hello. I don't know much about your problems, but I did want to stop by and say hello and wish you luck. I have a little boy so I fully understand you wanting to be well enough to take care of your grandson. I am very thankful I had my...

Hi Guys! So these past few days have been a little tough on me. I have just been really stressed with school (I?m in my second semester of college) and raising my son by myself, plus dealing with my heart condition. I mean luckily I have been doing well since my surgery (I had open heart...

Nancy: Yes, I should have added that. They told me that since my case was so rare, that I should have copies off all my testing and such from Mayo Clinic. They told me they could put it on a disk and I could take it with me, say if I moved or something. That would be very helpful, especially...

I had the worst experience a couple months ago, and thought it was time to share it with you folks here at VR. I don't know if you remember, but I had my open heart surgery just over a year ago (Aug, 2005) while I was having my surgery, I developed pnemonia (sp?). So of course I had a very...

Hello. I thougth I'd voice my opionion on this topic:p First of all, I am a big fan of caffeine (I have a two year old son) but I was told to stay away from it too. The reason behind it was, I was given medication to help lower my heart rate, and since caffeine increases heart rate, it sort...

Hello Chris! I just read your post and wanted to send you a little message. I don't know much about strokes but being on coumadin, I worry about them all the time. But I just wanted to comment on your question reguarding if it was appropriate to go to the ER, and I would say YES!!! I have...

Hi Debi! Just wanted to stop by and say hello. It is very stressful to have get a phone call, and not know what the heck is going on but try and hang in there. I know that I had my surgery over a year ago, and I still get short of breath sometimes. Being four months isn't all that long...
