kevin walker Thank you for the kind words. All is going well. Feeling great! Today I read our journal entries and guestbook comments. The surgery seems like such a long time ago. My two year anniversary with the new valve is coming up next month. I'm so thankful for all of the support that we received!
Cheers,
Kevin

So great to hear that your recovery is moving along well! I know what you mean about the cardio weights! One pound weights are all I can do right now and it is almost embarrassing to go through the motions with them! Haha! But gotta start someplace! Good luck with your rehab!

Kevin, appreciate this post, my hubby had AVR just this morning and we read your post last night. He is a very active guy and laughed at your lifting weights comment. I think it inspired him to know that he will get back to his routine in due time.
Take care,

Hi Kevin, I know I am chasing down the mountain. If you have a cow valve maybe I will seeing you grazing while Im grazing. I am amazed at the out come of surgery too. It wasnt all that bad. You take care and good luck to you on your recovery.
Mooing all over

Kevin & friends,
Sleeping, yes, sleeping was odd at first. I was on a two hour cycle at first. That\'s when I was writing most of my early journals, in the middle of the night.
The cycle time slowly extended out until it was back to normal. Among other things you have to get all the drugs out of your body from the surgery. This takes a while too.
By the time you get all the glue from all the tape and electrodes off your skin you will be sleeping normally!
Please fell free to read my journals here too.
Take care,

Great to hear that you are doing really well.
Just be careful not to over do things. I lifted some things that were well over my 5 lb limit and had to go to emergency to have the resulting pain checked. Luckily it was nothing serious.
