There has to be a made for TV show in this situation somewhere...a blue haired, troll like woman with a secret affinity for margaritas celebrates 34th anniversary of mitral valve. Mitral valve has a slightly younger partner, a 3 year old aortic valve. Does age REALLY matter? Check your local...

Dear, dear Laura! What a terrible mess for you! I agree with the people that say go to a hotel and let room service take care of you! However, if you're in the same situation I'm in, you can't really afford to do that. Is there any way you can GO stay with your Mom? Have you ever considered...

I was glued. Left very thin scar line! Thought it would be a lot worse than it is! About the infections...TBone may be right, however, my surgeon opted for the glue because I have no spleen. He told me there was LESS chance of infection plus quicker healing time. Without a spleen I have little...

I know where you are coming from with this question. I also had endocarditis...all the tests showed some mass on the aortic valve. I did the IV antibotic treatments for 6 weeks. Anyway after all the antibotics and blood tests the mass still showed. My cardologist was totally honest with me and...

Whew! I agree that the people that have to go the surgery alone are heros! I cannot even begin to imagine what that would be like! I had so many people present at my surgery that when the surgeon came out to tell them everything was fine, he was shocked! He teased me about it afterwards...said...

Cipro is a broad spectrum antibotic. I was was taking Cipro plus another antibotic at the same time when I had endocarditis. The other antibotic was IV however. Just let the dentist know that he is already on Cipro.
