Hi Jamie,
That\'s great you are doing so good, sure glad to hear that. The rehab will make you stronger all the time. It is so nice that chapter in your life is history and you are like a new person, now. Are you planning a nice long vacation this summer? You deserve it, I know you have been through a rough ordeal and it\'s time to relax and enjoy life again. I know it hasn\'t been easy, but with God\'s help, your loving family and friends and your strong willpower, you have made it through. Keep up the good work. Ray and I send our love to you and your family.
God Bless,
Shirlene

Jamie Todor Thanks Shirlene....Yes, life is good for me! Praise God for His healing touch. The rehab is making every day better from an energy and strength point of view. I am hoping to take a couple of trips this summer to celebrate being done with all of this for sure!! Will be coming to Ohio at the end of April with Bob and his dad to get the family home ready for an estate sale and home sale. Will probably be there for a week. Then hoping to take our daughter on some kind of fun trip...possibly overseas...haven't decided yet what to do. We promised her a graduation trip 3 years ago!! Hope you and Ray are feeling good....It is always good to hear from you:)):) Hugs. Jamie

Congratulations Jamie !!
That is absolutely fantastic news!!! You are so blessed and strong. With God, family and friends you\'ve completed 1 chapter and started a new, healthier, and heart-filled (sorry, I couldn\'t resist) chapter in your life. I\'m proud of you...and of all of your family and friends.
In other news, no I didn\'t know Ellen Carpenter lives in Texas. Actually, I haven\'t heard from her since graduation. Is she on facebook? I\'d love to catch up with her. That is one thing I\'ve really liked about fb, catching up with friends and classmates.
Thank you for keeping us updated on every step of your journey. I look forward to some day giving you a big hug but in the mean time, xoxox.
Love you dear, wonderful friend,
Rick

Jamie Todor I am indeed blessed....and getting stronger every week. I am starting a new chapter and it gets better as I do more and more. Rehab has been great for that....pushing the body while being monitored. It really has helped me to feel better and more normal.
I don't think Ellen is on FaceBook. She married Tim Tyler (LeeAnn Wilmot's first husband. They have been married about 10 years...and are raising two small children of her brother's former wife. It is a long story but Tim and Ellen are great parents and I am so proud of them. They live about an hour from me....
I hope to be at our next reunion to collect that hug in person! I was sooo happy to hear about Wes' new job. That is such good news. Have a great day my friend and thank you for always being sooo encouraging. Love and Hugs. Jamie

Yes I know the feeling !!!!
It is sometimes overwhelming to know that you have made it this far without any serious complications. It just makes you get on your knees and be thankful to God.
I am so happy to hear all the good news!!
It is such an amazing journey we have experienced.
My surgeon only sees patients in the office on Wedensdays.......
Every Tuesday night I think that someone will go into his office the next day and hear the news that they need surgery. It makes me stop and remember all we have been through...and how blessed we are to have been able to get this far!
GOD BLESS

Jamie Todor Amen to getting on the knees and sending HIM prayers of thankfulness. It blows me away to think that someone had my heart in their hands. I still can't believe it til I look down and see my souvenir on my chest!! I love that you shared that every Tuesday night you think of others...that is a touching story and one that I need to do...my surgeon sees them on Tuesdays! Thanks for your encouragement....I always love your comments. God bless you John and have a great week. Jamie Todor

Jamie,
So happy for you, really glad you are doing so good. I didn\'t have a doubt but what you would do good, but it is really nice to hear from the Doctor\'s that everything is looking so good. You are going to feel like a new woman and can really enjoy your summer. Prayers will continue to be with you.
Love, Shirlene and Ray

Jamie Todor I agree...it was GREAT to get that confirmation from the doctor. I still am kind of jumpy every time my heart goes flippity flop...I know it is just PVC's but it feels like it did before the fix and it is scary!! I KNOW that I am fixed but every ache and pain is a worry! LOL....That is what rehab is for so I can trust more and more. Hope you all are doing good...and it is warming up in WV. Hugs. Jamie

Jamie Todor Thanks Janis. I know you are walking allot...how is the stamina this week?? Any changes? I can't wait til the sternum pain and scar burning is gone....I think my chest pulls on things and makes it hurt!! LOL. I am doing more and more but still get way too tired for me....I am having to learn to pace myself and that is hard for a type A to learn!! Blessings on your week. Jamie T.

Yay! Jamie! Great results for a GREAT lady. I considered Dr. Baldwin in Houston for my surgery, but it would have been an issue for insurance. He is a highly regarded surgeon. I am pretty sure that I will do cardiac rehab regardless of what the doctor says, I\'m sure my doctors here would order it for me. I am looking at this surgery as another chance to start a new chapter, get out more and in better shape. Rehab can\'t be bad for you and I feel like it will help \"ease my fear\" of tearing something up, lol.
Keep up the good work, please do keep me in your prayers and thank you for all of your sweet encouragement.
Love,
Linda D.

Jamie Todor Gottcha covered in the prayer department sista!! I was hoping to encourage all those who are going down the path...I had a great outcome as do most folks. It is scary as you begin it all and doesn't really go away til you are up and about. That sure does help. Cleveland Clinic is great...there success rate is fabulous. I will be praying for you and your daughter Linda. Hugs and Love, Jamie
Jamie Todor OOPS.....spelled" their" wrong!! A senior moment! Jamie LOL
