One year!! That's wonderful and thanks for sharing. I'm 4 months out and just feeling ok to exercise which feels great!! I was not in great health before so I expected to take a little more time but am feeling better and better and healthier than I ever have . So now it's building strength for me . I took care of my 5 year old grandson the other day by myself and did great!! Now that's amazing to me:) anyway it's always good to hear about people doing well after a long time Thanks for sharing !

Christine Kline hi Lynn: it still surprises me as to how quickly we recover from such major surgery. It sounds like you are doing well for 4 months! I found that cardio rehab really helped with building strength and confidence. Good luck in your recovery.

Christine Kline Hi Linda; Glad to know you are still doing well. You were one my mentors! I had hoped my sternum soreness would be gone by now, but I guess, like you, it will continue to be there--maybe a gentle reminder as to what we have been through--lest we forget?!!?

Hi Christine I too am just over a year post-op and doing great as well. Except that after losing 60 lbs (and 60 more to go!) I have developed gall stones that are giving me grief. Isn't it amazing what heart surgery can give you back. Keep up the good work. Your neighbor just south here in Oregon.

Christine Kline Hi Bill: Congrats to you--60 lbs is amazing!

Sounds like things are going well for you. That is great. I had AVR surgery 1/9/14...about 3 months ago. I feel itchy around my scar and can barely wear some of my tops as they are uncomfortable. Good to know I am not alone. At first I thought it was all in my head.

Hi again Chris. So glad you still check your journal. I felt as if we had a lot in common when I read your story. No I have not yet set up a profile, brand new here and still figuring it out. I am having the valve done at RCH in new west as I live in Coverdale. I was interested to read about your lift chair, shower stool and tips like that. If I may, perhaps I will ask you more questions at another time. Pretty tired right now ...did not sleep much last night.

Hi Christine ... great to read your story. I am also from Vancouver, also have stenosis due to bicuspid. Like you I have been pretty active and I was quite surprised that I need the surgery so soon. It seems to have progressed more rapidly than cardiologist originally predicted. I am almost 60. Also like you, I was just cancelled ! earlier this evening, I got a call ... with only 12 hours to go ... cancelled and rescheduled for 2 weeks down the road. disappointing mainly due to all my family members having taken time off work and flown in to be here. we have much in common .... I hope you still check your guest book sometimes and see this. would love to "chat".

Christine Kline Hi Judy:
Yes-- I do check my guestbook and would love to "chat". It is nice to have a fellow HVR'r who lives in Vancouver. In which hospital are you having your surgery? I know how disappointing it is to get all psyched up for such major surgery and then have it cancelled at the last moment--especially with all of your family taking time off work and/or flying to Vancouver. Do you have a journal on this website? I looked but couldn't find it. Anyway, keep me posted.

I was glad to hear you are getting in some swimming and enjoying your stay in Maui. Think it is all going to take time before you feel up to par again, Chris. Hope you aren't working too hard and are making sure you get enough rest. Look forward to hearing from you when you get home. "Hi" to Gord for me as well. Love, Arlene
