Kent,
It is great to hear the positive news and words of encouragement from a heart valver who has passed the one year mile marker. My thoughts and prayers will be with your wife and you as you face this challenge.

Hi Kent,
I\'ve been in touch with several of our HVJ friends about getting together during the summer for a celebration of last summer\'s surgery. You mentioned you were interested also. Right now, I\'m trying to narrow a date and place. So far, it seems late July and August are the popular dates. What is best for you? Are you open to a place in middle to southern California? How about in Georgia (Christy\'s state).
May I have your email address so that I can include you in the emails I send to others HVJ friends? Thanks.
I hope your New Year is going great.

Do you have big plans for Christmas? I guess we've both received pretty great gifts this year.

Hi Kent, this is Sara Sayle. I\'m glad to hear you\'re doing so much at 10 weeks!!! Do you have any pictures of your scar now that you\'re at the 10 week point? I can\'t even see Barbara Walter scar!! I don\'t think mine will look like hers haha.
Hopefully you\'re getting a restful day in Salem. It\'s raining like crazy over in Vancouver area so no lawn mowing on this end! :-D

Thanks for writing. Yes the valve decision was something I struggled with. I don\'t really like either of the options, mechanical or tissue. Not really a third to consider though. My surgeon, Dr Edward Woods at Geisinger Hospital in Danville, PA, thought that considering my career as a land surveyor who spends long days hiking in remote areas with no one else around, there was a significant risk being on Coumadin. That was the argument that won the day. Only time wil tell.
Take care of yourself and I will post updates in my journal as I go along.
