Wow. I can outgrow my mechanical valve? I got it when I was a young 19 years old. My bones are still strained, etc because my family doctor said I'm still in puberty. I'm almost 24!

Hi there! I had my aortic valve replaced in 2008. I also had my inominate vein reconstructed as well (they were going to repair my aortic, but scar tissue was attached to the valve/vein and it tore them apart). I've been having issues again lately with my heart. My left ventricle chamber grew...

So. I suffered from lifelong heart problems. Mitral valve problems as a baby and when I was four I was misdiagnosed with Kawasaki disease because back then the doctors kind of was shocked to see a caucasian baby have it. They hounded my parents with a wealth of questions when they decided to get...

Nice, olefin! xD. And clever way to put it. My dad wanted to go get a bunch of attractive nurses to see if the valve works right... ...I think he got a clue when Miss West Coast walked into my hospital room. xP.

I have a mechanical aortic valve and had one for over a year now. Nineteen years old when I got it. The surgeon explained to me how the clicking may become extremely annoying and unbearable for the first few days to weeks. But he said I'd get used to it. When I started to gain my conciousness...

The hospital I used to go to, to get all of these won't be getting it this year they said. My step mom's work stopped providing them. I tried to go to the health care clinics around here none of them had any. I am hoping my private doctor gets them. But it is unlikely. I cannot and will not...

Very true. xD. I wish I would've had one. o.o. I just had wheelcheers and those things sure are hard to control in houses that have hefty carpet. ><. My dog did defend me. He wouldn't let anyone near my chest, and wouldn't let the other dog (that likes to jump) anywhere near me while I was...

I have a piece of blue construction paper with a typed riddle on it. People who know how I think will understand it. By typing the riddle in the website that is written on the sticky note on that paper, people would know where to go to decode it. It will ask for a username/password, of course...

I'm not sure if they'd do it where you are. But when I had my surgery, they took my dad's cell phone number and they called him with updates so they weren't bound to the waiting room. Perhaps that'll be a bit more helpful if they do end up having to take your daughter with them to the hospital?

Well. I have bad posture. I slouch when I walk or sit. Now that it has been over a year of my third heart surgery, I hope I'm done with them. ><'. (Likely not but anyway going on) When I was little and growing up and had chest pain, I'd grab a stuffed animal or a pillow and put it in front of...

clicky I know the reporting source is a bit shaky. But I want to know if anyone here can shed some light on this? I hope this isn't another hoax by DailyMail. But, wow, that research if true is stunning then. o.o.

Sweet! And congratulations on getting back into the activities you love. =D

Hmm. Oddly, my doctors gave me medication just in case if I had a bad dream. I never really had a bad dream, ever in my life. The only time I ever had nightmares according to my mom was when my best friend died when I was fourteen. o.o. But, I guess bad dreams before huge events can be seen...

I don't remember the last time I seen cold hard cash. xD. I'm so used to plastic. Thank you! I'll take a look at it now. My steel one broke. ><'. And it made my wrist brake out light red. Thanks!

Well! I used to love CSS, and I have gotten shaky with picking out my colors now. I added my gold scheme to my profile, as custom colors and the gold is kind of my trademark for my twitter, profile pages, etc. I decided to help me learn to recoordinate my eyes, I'll work on profile pages for...

Fifty years. Very, very, very impressive.

xD. I know! I need to get a new medical bracelet soon. My last one was too big for my small wrists and fell off. I LOVE wearing rubber bands, and things like that around my wrists. I have a rubber wrist band on right now that reads 'Rights for homosexuals' I go back and forth from this one to...

No problem guys. ^_^. I myself am naturally very curious. I like to know what happens, and like to see things. I won't run away from the surgery in fear, knowing I seen photos like these. It just helps me prepare myself on a mental level. The books the doctors give you break it down like you're...

Congratulations! Four great years, and you're still here. A great big congratulations to you. I hope you get many more years out of your valve. ^^

Very sweet Ross! Enjoy! My uncle was so, very happy when he got his teeth in. xD. He wanted to go out to eat right away to test them out. XD. Hopefully in a few more years this will be a reality: http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/18216/
