Coming back

[ChicagoMom]

Hi all,

I was a member a few years ago but can't remember my login and my e-mail address is changed.

I'm scheduled to have my aortic valve and part of my aorta replaced in 2 weeks, also possibly replacing mitral again. I'll opt for mechanical valves as I'm a lifelong coumadin user now anyway.

It's good to be back, but the reason is not. I'm hoping for a complications-free surgery this time around. I had my fair share of those last time.

I sure hope that this time around you have no complications. In the meantime, welcome back even if it is under less than ideal circumstances.

Good luck with your "valve job." It's supposed to be easier the second time around, plus there is less "fear of the unknown."

Thanks Lyn.

The kids are good. The oldest is 7 and she upset by everything. The middle is 5 and not bothered. He just kept telling me he loved me on the phone when I was in hospital. The baby is 20 months and she was mad at me when she came to visit last week. She hit me when she saw me first, ran to daddy and then came back and hugged me. Last time out I only had the oldest and she was 6 months old so had no idea what was happening. I've explained to the older two that mommy's heart is sick and they're going to take out bad bits and put in good bits. I'll be tired and sick for a while, but then be really really strong.

It is so tough on them!

Nice to hear from you but sorry about the upcoming VR. At least this time you may have some little helpers at home for your recovery. Best wishes.

After I got out of ICU, I had to lure my 18-month old with candy like a child molester to even get him to come over to me, he was so mad. Hope all goes smoothly as possible and you don't have to be away from your kids for too long.
