I have to omit that I forgot to post an Anniversary Announcement. So here it is: HAPPY 10th to me.:smile2: November 11th was my 10th Birthday (anniversary). How cool November 11th is Veterans Day.

Hello everyone. Eight years ago at this moment I was begging for drugs to calm down prior to going in the operating room for a mitral valve repair. After eight years, I am still feeling great!:cool: I have a check up with the Cardo next week and am expecting a good report. I still sing the...

Today I am celebrating my seventh birthday since I looked over the mountain. I still get very emotional when I reflect back. I am not here that often, but I still lurk now and then.:) Best to you all!

I just wanted to say that yesterday I celebrated the five year anniversary of my Mitral Repair. My wife and I had a toast in honor of that day last night. Glad to still be kickin! I may not post much anymore, but I am lurking at least once a week. (Why when I say lurking do I get this picture...

Went to the Cardo yesterday for my Three Year Check Up. BP was 114/82, I thought that was great. They did the 3D Dopplar Echo and everything looked good. Doc acted like why are you here, see ya in a year. OHS and the Valve Repair has given me a new chance, given the alternative. THERE IS HOPE...

Today is my Three Year Birthday. It is so hard to believe that three years have gone by as the memories are so fresh and seems like yesterday. My wife still teases me about after getting a requested cocktail (shot), to calm me down, that I was telling all my family that "Look they shaved me, I...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME This is for those who have just gone up the mountain and those waiting. IT DOES GET BETTER I can hardly believe that two years has gone by so fast, yet it seems just like yesterday that I was being rolled away from my wife. This thing/event that we go through does...

I went Friday to my Cardo for an annual look see (actual would be a year and a half look see, but who's counting). Doc said (after doing an echo and a listen) that all was very good. The valve is not leaking, BP is very good (118/72) and that the other valves are all good. Gave me a nuggie and...

I asked this as a reply to another post and did not get any answers, so here I go again. Should everyone who has had any type of a ring implanted during a MVR (or other repair) have received a card regardless of type of ring? Quote by Ross: By law implants must be tracked in event of recall...

I would like for you all to say a pray for my wife, Chris E., to give her strength. She has been the primary care giver for her parents for the past year. Then along came my surgery and now her 77 year old Mother has fallen twice in the past three weeks and broken her hip each time. Her Mother...

Went to my Cardo last Friday, April 11th. He said all sounded real good. My BP was 120/70. Said he doesn't need to see me for a year. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts since November. Feels good to feel normal again. It does happen! Stange enough I didn't even realize...

Hi to all our family out there...this is Chris E. and I'm writing concerning Ter. He is doing sooooo good with rehab and all but his temperment is so damn short...not like Ter...his fuse is so short that I don't know what to do. Seems that no matter what I say, pardon my language, but it...

Hi Everyone: Just wanted to let you know that I had my one month Post Op visit to my Cardiologist yesterday. He said the heart sounded real good, but went ahead and did an Ultra-Sound. The Ultra-Sound showed no leakage of the mitral valve. Sounds like he's got me plugged up pretty good. Made...

Hi ! This is Chris E. and I'm writing concerning Ter. He is 2 weeks post op and very depressed and moody. Doesn't matter what I say or do, can't seem to "lift him up." Our 1st Thanksgiving alone that we haven't had a house full, let alone turkey dressing, 'tatoes, etc. I'm sure it's...
