Congrats Bob!!!! But once again, that is the same thing I just went through. It was explained to me that the tech and other cardio looking at the previous echo was over estimating the size and measuring it wrong. I was not told about a dacron graft though, it was explained to me that the root that was replaced is thicker than the native root. So once it was measured correctly, it turns out that my aortic root is 3.5.

But I do think we need to continue the Miller Lite and Coors Light workout plan. It seems to be helping in our case.

LOL! Absolutely, our workout plans are working. Continue lifting! :D

Besides that, I guess the lesson is we need to get echo/scan results to someone familiar with the Freestyle dimensions before we let some cardio staff get us all jittery. I am not really mad at them for taking seriously what looked like a serious problem. I am just grateful my surgeon was willing to take a close look.
 
BOB!!!!

That IS AWESOME news ... CONGRATULATIONS!

Too bad your Cardinals didn't give you equally good news...... ;)

Ack! Had to rub it in didn't you, Cubbies fan? :p The problem was that Matt Holliday was counting all of his money out in left field when that potential third out was hit out his way. Next he'll sign with the Yankees for even more money. Maybe they will buy a million dollar peach basket for him to catch fly balls in. :D

Seriously, thanks for the good wishes, Cort. Have missed your posts while you have been on th road.

LOL! Maybe they will ;). I could NOT believe that play. Matt H is a better player than that. But, ya know ... your Cardinals sure did their best to impersonate my Cubs. So, I guess we'll have to sue your team :)!

After having read the posts on Cooker's throwdown today with everyone pointing the finger at your good news as the reason for food binges - I had to come find out what all the fuss was about!

This is excellent news Bob and I'm so happy for you. It might well be worth those extra pounds some people found. :)

All the best,

Rhena
