Interesting...maybe after surgery, right now is not a good time for any other data but I will check out the link...Thanks!

Thanks Michele...I like it!

Thank you Pellicle for your reply. Your are a good writer...I alway overedit my posts and usually end up deleting most of what I type, so I am impressed. I am just waking up and don't want to miss what is right in front of me. Seeing a councilor has really been helpful. She asked me what I...

I am deffinately throwing everthing at this upcomming event...counceling, Yoga, eating clean, i have my hospital team and aftercare teams all set up...feeling better about the surgery today than I did 3 months ago when it was scheduled. I can't wait to move forward, start jogging again and...

Glad to hear the outcome! I am also 42 and having surgery in 4 weeks...my cardio and surgeon are split like yours...I am going mechanical.

Thanks! I asked some other pre meno ladies on the Anti Coag Board about it...wasn't sure how the meds would effect my periods. I took their advise to move forward with it.

I am not due for surgery for a few weeks but I am planning ahead. As for TOM, since I will be on Coumadin after my surgery, I am having an endo ablation done this Friday to ease up the flow. I am lucky that I am an A cup and can waer a just a tank top with a shelf bra for support. I was also...

That was a little dark. Sorry. I really am trying to embrase the positive and am looking forward to the relief of having the surgery over so I can stop obsessing over it. Really, thank you for the support...I do appreciate the time and thought that goes into simple answering someones...

Thank you all. It is comforting to know that you all came through and I do like my odds when I think about it logically yet a part of me keeps thinking corpses don't post to the boards.

Newbie-I am sorry you are feeling so crappy. I am waiting for my OHS-AVR...39 days to go. I too have feelings similar to you, I am 42. I however am married with two kids and am not happy. Why the hell am I not happy? I am trying to figure that out. For my anxiety my cardiologist has given me...

Thank you all for the reality check...waiting is deffinately hard.

A co-worker's mother underwent AVR on September 10. We have the same surgeon and I was anxious to find out how things went for her. Unfortunately and tragically she did not make it through the first day in ICU. I trust my surgeon but I am also abruptly confronted by my mortality.

Thank you Clay, I don't feel that my sex drive has slowed with maturity but I do feel that I no longer desire my husband sexually. We have had difficult times over the past 6 years and luckily or unluckily my brain steers my ability to get arroused. I don't know if I can get over the past which...

Thank you Tom...I will schedule a "date night" with each of the important men in my life...and my three chihuahuas too :)

Thank you for sharing N Jean-What a story...heartbreak of the emotional kind. Did you ever find another love? I know my husband is a good man but is being a good man enough? Our physical relationship has been very limited...my mind prevents me from wanting physical contact with him...yet I want...

I have my counseling appointment set for this Thursday with two additional follow up sessions I can take advantage of prior to my surgery. I am hoping just talking to someone about everything; surgery, marriage, motherhood, work, that I can get to a point where I am happy. I am having a good day...

Thank you for the words of support and advise...I am going to see a counselor prior to my surgery, and after, to work through some of my thoughts/feelings...calling today to set that up. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I will keep moving forward and look for the rainbow I know must be...

Thank you Freddie, I do realize everyone here on the boards are a great resource of information and support. I just wanted to connect with other mothers, and women. I need some girl talk. But OK, here goes... I have been uhappy in my marrage for the last 5 years at least, maybe more. I love my...

Looking for some other females to talk to about life and upcomming surgery. So many things are going on and I feel like I can't talk to anyone about what I am feeling. You?

Thank you for your reply..yup I'm done having kids I have two boys 6 & 9. From the posts I have recieved from ladies so far your guess is right..thinner but longer periods with shorter cycles. Thank you for the well wishes!
