    Remembering members from a long time ago and wondering where they are now.

    Speaking of old-timers, here I am SuperBob, Rob, and Tigerlily! l haven't been on in a few years now, but I remember you all well. I haven't scrolled through, so I didn't catch everyone. I have had my 8 yr anniversary last February, and 4 yrs ago I began to get arrhythmias again and I had...

    Beware dirty socks in bed...

    Me too Bina,and for the same reasons. I would take the "floor socks" off and change into my "bed socks" when getting back into bed. We have a lot in common,I wonder if we are related?

    Sitting in the hospital bored after a busy day.

    I had a very similar episode in 2007 before my OHS. A.Flutter,all the meds you listed,and then ablation. Is this your first atrial flutter? and do they know why it decided to pop up now? With me,I was still pre-surgery and my right atrium was dilated from the regurg. I hope your clot dissolves...

    living with a monkey on my back

    Sometimes its best to get it over with. I waited too long and now have to live with permanent damage to my heart. My surgeon and cardio saw me as young and healthy and allowed me to wait too long...I now have new doctors but they can't totally fix heart failure. If your regurg is severe,your...

    Blood pressure monitors

    Yes,this is why I like to use the old-fash type,without the digital monitor. It's really easy to use and your bp registers no matter how low your bp is.

    New people, come out and introduce yourselves

    Welcome! I can understand the shyness. In most situations I start out that way myself...and then my mouth(or fingers) take over:) Re pre-op anxiety,what helped me was to put it out of my mind,I had to! I would have driven myself nuts if I hadn't. Meditate on and expect a positive outcome and it...

    How was your memory after OHS?

    Yes, this is how it was/is with me. I will have difficulty finding the exact word I intended to use,and will have to use an imperfect synonym. Though I am also hypothyroid,so I am not sure which is the cause. I know that short term memory loss is common after OHS, but I don't know about the...
