....it's the third anniversary of my mitral valve repair and life's good!!!!! :D

I'm feeling great, except for some itchiness and occasional tenderness around the incision due to keloids. At my last Cardio check-up, the repair was holding up and the heart walls and chambers had returned to normal size. Even the occasional back, neck, and shoulder pains I reported I was still having last year are pretty much gone (knock wood).

I'm still trying to live a more balanced life and take the time to smell the roses, but as some of you may know, I started a new job this year which has resulted in some long hours and additional stress, especially in this economy (I've returned to a previous occupation as a Financial Planner, and investors tend to be a bit cranky these days). It could have been worse....I could be still unemployed in this economy :eek: . Unfortunately, with the long hours I haven't been able to post as much as I used to, although I do check daily to see what's going on and post when I have time, even if just a short one.

Thanks for being here, everyone. :)

And to the newbies.....There's a good life after OHS. It's not as bad as it sounds. Best wishes and good luck to you all.

Wayne,

Great news. It is always good to hear that a fellow MVR buddy is doing well. As for the financial market I feel your pain.I am a banker (yes I am coming out of the closet). There are days I wish I had access to some of the "meds" given at the hospital. Best of luck to you and your bike.:)
 
Can you believe how fast these last 3 years have gone by???? I am just a few months after you and it really does astound me that it's been 3 years.

Sorry that that darned scar is still not resolved (does their stubbornness reflect anything about our particular personalities?? :rolleyes:) for you (us ;)) but hey....whatever! right?

Best wishes to you as you begin your 4th bonus year on this planet.

Happy third!!

Marguerite
