Ah, gotcha. Well I have never ate pork bacon. I enjoy turkey bacon better. But I love ham too much to give that up unfortunately. LOL!

Lol. This might sound stupid, especially after a year but why? Lol. I wasn't told to avoid any kinds of foods :/

I am a piggy. LOL! My fiance teases me a lot because he loves bacon. ;)

Thanks for the congrats everyone! I'm glad that I'm not alone with it being like this. I was starting to think that I did something wrong to cause it to look like this or that it would never go away. Thanks! I'll have to look into that. It does get itchy from time to time. And this picture...

I didn't make it on here on my one year anniversary, which was this past Friday, the 15th. Life got the best of me, been so busy with everything. I have been doing fantastic. Can't believe it's been a year since my surgery. I was talking with my fiance on Friday and we were talking about how...

Yeah, lots of convo with my boyfriend, family, and doctors. It's wonderful to be back to normal, or better than normal. I can't remember when I last felt like I do now, many many years, that's for sure. I have seen lots of others post about how they were able to get back into their sports, etc...

I decided on it because I want kids, even if I can only have one and because my menstrual cycle already causes me to have problems. I am anemic and I already have heavy periods so I didn't want to take the chance of taking thinners and it being even worse and dropping my iron even lower when...

I was 23 when I had mine done, just 7 short months ago. LOL! I am now 24. But I am back at my full time job, and I start classes again full time in the fall. I go out with my friends all the time, go running with a few and work out with a few. I have actually started to go out to the bar, a...

Didn't find any posts on this, unless I missed it. We got new work shirts, they are 100% polyester and are polo shirts. I washed the shirts but when I wear them, my scar gets really irritated. It's not my laundry detergent because none of my other shirts bother me. And my other shirts rub my...

Alrighty, I think I finally got it working. If someone can't see it, please let me know.

Oh no. I'll have to try and fix it later. Sorry about that.

So today, the 15th, marks 6 months since my AVR. I did not take any pictures right after surgery, blonde me! But here are my pictures from today. The bump in the middle, between my tata's is a pimple..blah! But I am doing very well!!!

Thank you all for your input. I really haven't had much time to be on. I have just been working out with a trainer at my local gym and now that it's FINALLY nice out, I've been trying to workout more outside. I can now run about a mile in about 10 minutes without feeling like I am going to die...

So I just realized I never updated about what happened. I went and saw my cardiologist and they did an echo and my valve looks wonderful. He thinks that I might have just overdone it at work, lifting boxes and reaching to grab things, and pulled several muscles. My cardiologist did say that the...

This is true but my white blood cell count was normal. They did blood cultures but won't know the results until tomorrow. My throat hurts worse today and I keep getting a sharp pain every now and then down my throat and still have that pressure when I take a deep breath. My fiance asked if they...

So this past Friday I was at work and I started to feel what felt like palpitations to me..not really sure if that's what it was since I've never had them before. Those went away and when I was heading home from work I started to have some discomfort in my chest, especially when I took a deep...

Thanks guys! I actually had to have all my teeth removed the week before my AVR because my teeth had gotten so bad and I had so many infections in my mouth because growing up, dentists were always afraid to see me or do anything because of my valve problems. And the oral surgeon had left one of...

Oh I know I don't want it!! It just seemed like a whole lot to me. And I thought I would start a few days before and go a few days after but knowing that its something that a lot do, makes me feel more at ease.

Thank you everyone!! The input is so appreciated!! I have another question for you guys. I have to have a tooth pulled and my oral surgeon prescribed me Amoxicillin to take one hour before my tooth getting pulled. He has the Amoxicillin at 500mg and me taking 4...one hour before...and none...

Thanks for all the input! Sorry it has been a while since I have been on. I ended up going through a move with my fiance and that took a lot of my time, as well as sleeping because moving took so much out of me. My insurance didn't cover ANY of my surgery because they said my surgery was with...
