I had my mitral valve replacement in 2005 and everything there is fine. What isn't fine is my emphysema. I see a lot of ads for Carda Health which seems to be a lot more proactive than the service my insurance (medicare advantage) enrolled me in. Has anyone had experience with Cardo Health?

I've been a member since 2005 - kind of dropped off after a few years. I started receiving emails not too long ago and check the forums every now and then. I miss that thread - always hoping not to see familiar names.

Just realized that my valve & I have been together for 5 years as of May 16. I'm really grateful that everything worked out for me... I'm especially grateful that I was able to find a job (after 10 months of being unemployed) that offered outstanding health benefits. Other than having to foot...

I was looking at some old threads today and realized that I haven't seen Jeannette (netmiff) for a while. 'Course it's hard to tell since we had to leave the Feb. posts behind, but she hasn't been on in March. Anyone know if there's a problem?

Just want to send you off to the hospital with best wishes for a successful surgery and a very boring recovery:) It would be great if a family member or friend could give us an update. I'm sure you're anxious to get this behind you so you'll have more energy for your little sweetie. Peace.

Well, I'm making progress... got the nine stitches out of my wrist and (approx.) 30 staples removed from the elbow area. I now have a brand-new thermoplastic splint. I start some passive PT on Thursday - still a fair amount of swelling that I suspect will go down quickly now that I'm not heavily...

I'm typing this one-handed... woke up last wed to over a foot of snow so decided to take bus to work. Fell gently two times... then fell not so gently a third time. Managed to get my cell phone out to call my dh to come rescue me. He reached me and called 911. long story short - broke wrist...
