Angela, So happy for you....that is good news! Hopefully, your situation will remain stable and manageable. I wish you a speedy recovery from your recent procedure and great health going forward. Best wishes, Nancy H.

Angela: What a remarkable chain of events. Let\'s hope you keep healthy and don\'t ever need valve replacement, but do keep getting your annual tests just to be sure. Blessings. Terry Chase

Hi Angela What great news and what a turn around. I do agree with Mark, however. Please err on the side of caution and get a second opinion. When they agree, you\'ll take a deep breath of relief. Good luck. Fran

Angela, Goos news it sounds like for you. Do make sure you get your results reviewed by your cardiologist and/or surgeon to verify that all agree on the results. It is always good to have a couple of opinions, especially if they change. Best of luck, Mark Keller, TX

Hi Angela Thanks for the note. I wish you well tomorrow for your heart cath, I\'ve had a couple of them done and it\'s not bad. You may have a light sedation. The hardest part is staying flat for a few hours afterwards. As far as the relaxation/guided imagery tapes I used. I actually downloaded them from the Cleveland Clinic as they were made available to me because I was scheduled for surgery there. If you go to your local book store or even go on line there are books and CDs available on this topic. I started listening about 4 weeks before my surgery and went into the operating room listening to them. After they gave me some light sedation, they did remove them but I was already in my mind in a beautiful place that I had visualized. I do believe it also helped me with my pain management during my recovery. Will be reading your posts. good luck. you\'ll do fine. Fran
