I guess there are probably 2 wires. Let's hope the other one stays put!

When I was discharged from the hospital 5.5 years ago following double valve replacement they cut the wires of my temporary pacemaker off at my skin and told me that they would just pull back inside, which they did. I hadn't thought anything about those wires until today. A couple of days ago...

HURRAH! May 2010 be a kindly year. Mike & Diana

... I had just permitted the surgical staff at University Hospital in Syracuse, NY, to whisk my husband away for mitral and aortic valve replacements. Working on invalid and misleading concepts I had gleaned on the "net", I expected to have him out of surgery and in recovery in an hour and a...

fighting the flu fighting the flu We have seen some pretty amazing "avoidance" of the flu in families here in central New York by vigilant washing (hands AND face--every time you think of it!), eating right, and resting whenever you can. One young family has immune-compromised twins and a...

Oh, Mom, Oh, Mom, I really think you were fighting with his depression, not the kid. And you were wise to get away for a bit. You are doing an impossible job with such a sick son --- and I, for one, think you are doing a remarkable and wonderful job. And if he was simply being a nineteen...

Has anyone had any success getting rid of keloid scars? A dear teenager at our church has had two attempts to get rid of the heavy, lumpy, drawn scar down her chect from an OHS, but they have come back with a vengance each time. Any help would be appreciated. Her mom would take her just about...

I am amazed at how hard every respiratory bug has hit me since my valve (aortic and mitral) replacement nearly four years ago. I was in stage four congestive heart failure when I went to surgery, but I recovered pretty quickly and very well. My ejection fraction has gone from the low 30's to...
