    The Merry Christmas Everyone Thread

    Four years today

    Hope you don't really remember lying on the operating table being cut open! lol Those drugs do better that that, they make you forget!! Wonderful that you can celebrate with someone who most certainly is happy and loves you. Other than US, of course. Hang in there, Bill

    Seven years ago today this group got me to the top of the mountain

    Nice to see so many familiar "faces and names" I wish I had never been dropped from this group. Guess my visits were not "logged in" for a long time at any rate. Great to have such a warm welcome back. And, Ann, I am not sure what you are referring to in the post just 4 or so back(the video...

    2 years out - ups and downs

    All the best to you, 2 years is great. Breathing is pretty important to that so hope the drugs are helpful. Tough bunch of allergies, guess the top of 10000 ft peak would be the best place to go, except the thinner air. We will have many prayers for your return to "peak" performance. Bill

    28 years and ticking!

    I will second Freddie's post "there is hope for me" with only 7 on my "ticker" thanks St. Jude. I rarely hear mine, but my kids(all adults 29, 39, 41) claim they know my level of "excitement" by the speed of ticking. Happy to sound like a "well oiled watch" Great news, thanks for sharing!! Bill

    brian back in the hospital - 3rd time this summer

    Much as I hated taking Lovenox after a hospital stay a couple of years ago, I gotta agree, any thing that gets you home and outta those places is just great. Good news, we will keep praying and you just be sure to lean on us, this is a fantastic group of loving, caring folks. Best bill

    Seven years ago today this group got me to the top of the mountain

    Well, it does me too. I did not do the video, he actually made the video to send to his mom and I to tell us he had "popped the question" and it worked! I am the one who put it on YouTube, it has been fun. Some of the videos from their wedding are on that same YouTube with my talk and some...

    Brand new to Coumadin

    Well, one thing to remember, you have had some major trauma and your metabolism has probably slowed to allow recovery. It normally takes the dose you take today to be "on board" only after 3 days. You will start to see the work upward. Not to worry, it will not take long to get to your...

    Bob is on the other side.

    You sound like you have are making fantastic progress. Down the mountain will be a piece of cake. Don't worry about the anticoagulation therapy, it will settle into a routine without much effort. Just follow the plan. After 7 years, I am seldom out of range, don't let it define you. You...

    A year already

    Congratulations, sounds like you have had a tough go of it but have made great progress. Such wonderful progress in this area of medicine has made for many of us a life beyond some heart problems. All has come in a very short time, too. Best of luck and as many say "bless your heart" Bill

    brian back in the hospital - 3rd time this summer

    Not much to add to what has already been said here. But, I want to add my prayers and best wishes along with so many others. Glad there are some great cheerleaders here to take up the "slack" of the sadly missed "Granbonnie" she would have had her pom-poms just a flailing and maybe a few words...
