I stayed off for a while too, and can't really explain why. I just needed to stop focusing on it so much. But I do feel bad not giving back to the community that has supported me - totally understand how you feel in that regard. I am truly sorry you are having such trouble with the insurance...

FYI: BlindFaith is getting the shirt next: I am dispatching it to him today. ML

Thanks very much everyone. I saw Grandma last night - she is doing really well. Still Grandma. She fretter over not having any food to offer us while she's IN THE HOSPITAL. She probably would have baked a batch of shortbread right there if she could. Unfortunately though, she has been bumped...

Who wants the shirt next? I sent a PM to Dan but haven't heard...so PM me if you want it and I'll get it off to you ASAP. Melissa

Hi everyone - love the new site! It's been a while since I've been here, and I've missed everyone. And now I need everyone's positive thoughts please... I didn't think I had a family history...but as it turns out I do. My Grandma Shirley (who is 75) was complaining of shortness of breath to...

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Hopefully I can get this resolved - it's driving me batsh*t. When it gets in the way of me cooking, Melissa get angry! ;) ML

Bill, I just read about Val and I'm so terribly sorry. You and your whole family are in all our thoughts and prayers.

I have been on Bisoprolol since January. I have had rashes on and off (mostly on) since before then - but only since I started them have they been so bad, particularly on my hands, which get little bubbles forming under the skin which then cause it to crack and bleed. I have read recently that...

I was absolutely THRILLED when I read about this! A friend had read the article and thought of me. I think it's an amazing development. I hope it will soon be widely available!

Melissa ANGRY! Just yesterday, after a looooong time, the shirt I had sent to DaleG was returned to me. Package was all beat up, and there was no reason listed for the its return. I sent a message to DaleG saying same, and asking if he still wants it. If so, I will send it to him. If not...

I had last sent the shirt to DaleG back in Sept...but I fear he may not have received it. Just waiting to hear back from him.

Hi Valerie, I'm a Rosser myself. I had the Ross procedure in 2005 at the age of 26. At the time, I was very happy with the choice - and my valves are now doing great. The one downside is that I ended up with an aortic aneurysm. It's slight at the moment but it was a direct result of having had...

As long as they know about them, I don't think it's a problem. If I'm not mistaken, they do things a bit differently when you have metal in the body.

This thread is timely, I was just wondering what category I fall into. I wasn't going to get the shot because the Alberta government has handled this whole thing disastrously and there was something like 9-hour waits to get the shot, which to me is ridiculous beyond belief. I asked my cardio...

Really happy to hear this :)

Anna, I was wondering about you - so glad to hear you're doing so well. Yay!

I wear mine with pride now. I was 26 when I had my AVR 3 years ago (and my first surgery as a 6-year old yielded a horizontal scar) so at first I tried to hide it, and then I said "to hell with it" and now I don't even notice. I actually find it really interesting gauging the different...

I think it's great you are going in for a second consult, and a high-five to that nurse for being kind enough to book you in for one. It's your health here, and I don't think anyone can be too pushy when it comes to that. Though maybe it's our Canadian-ness that makes us think we're being too...

Will be thinking of you tomorrow, cbd. You've agonized over this for so long, I really hope this will bring you the peace you crave after all's said and done. Best wishes for speedy recovery!

The purple heels would TOTALLY have matched. I dropped the ball on that one. DH probably would have enjoyed the photoshoot more had I done so :rolleyes:
