    Miss you guys, but coming here gets me mad.

    I stayed off for a while too, and can't really explain why. I just needed to stop focusing on it so much. But I do feel bad not giving back to the community that has supported me - totally understand how you feel in that regard. I am truly sorry you are having such trouble with the insurance...

    First me, now Grandma

    Thanks very much everyone. I saw Grandma last night - she is doing really well. Still Grandma. She fretter over not having any food to offer us while she's IN THE HOSPITAL. She probably would have baked a batch of shortbread right there if she could. Unfortunately though, she has been bumped...

    First me, now Grandma

    Hi everyone - love the new site! It's been a while since I've been here, and I've missed everyone. And now I need everyone's positive thoughts please... I didn't think I had a family history...but as it turns out I do. My Grandma Shirley (who is 75) was complaining of shortness of breath to...

    Beta Blockers/Rashes

    I have been on Bisoprolol since January. I have had rashes on and off (mostly on) since before then - but only since I started them have they been so bad, particularly on my hands, which get little bubbles forming under the skin which then cause it to crack and bleed. I have read recently that...

    Gluing the breastbone back together?

    I was absolutely THRILLED when I read about this! A friend had read the article and thought of me. I think it's an amazing development. I hope it will soon be widely available!

    Tawdry Shirt Sign Up And Tracking

    Melissa ANGRY! Just yesterday, after a looooong time, the shirt I had sent to DaleG was returned to me. Package was all beat up, and there was no reason listed for the its return. I sent a message to DaleG saying same, and asking if he still wants it. If so, I will send it to him. If not...

    Ross Procedure....am I going the Right Way?

    Hi Valerie, I'm a Rosser myself. I had the Ross procedure in 2005 at the age of 26. At the time, I was very happy with the choice - and my valves are now doing great. The one downside is that I ended up with an aortic aneurysm. It's slight at the moment but it was a direct result of having had...

    Sternum Staples

    As long as they know about them, I don't think it's a problem. If I'm not mistaken, they do things a bit differently when you have metal in the body.

    Swine Flu Injection

    This thread is timely, I was just wondering what category I fall into. I wasn't going to get the shot because the Alberta government has handled this whole thing disastrously and there was something like 9-hour waits to get the shot, which to me is ridiculous beyond belief. I asked my cardio...
