Shirley's Guestbook

Hi Shirley, I\'ve been following your journal and so glad you are recovering well. Hope you continue to feel better each day. As I wait for my surgery on 9/8, I can\'t help to get nervous and anxious, but this site has helped me a lot. I was wondering if you are having any problems taking the coumedin and if so, what problems? I still haven\'t decided which way I want to go. Take care and God Bless you! Julie (SC)

I am considering the Cleveland Clinic for my aortic valve replacement and when I saw thats where you went I had to write. Of course you know the anxiety I am going through at this time. I have had a murmur since 1977 but no doc had ever followed up on it. Recently I found out (after a trip to the er for afib) that I have a bad valve. Just had a cath last week and surgeon says it\'s critical, but not an emergency. I am interested in finding out more from you concerning the clinic. Was it your choice to stay an additional week at the guesthouse or was it for safety sake? I am hoping you have continued to do well and hope to hear from you soon. God Bless.

Hey girl!!! So glad to hear you are doing so well after surgery! Got back from Ouray last week and am finally getting caught up on my e-mails. Have been praying and keeping you in my thoughts daily! Excited that you are able to come home tomorrow. You\'ll be glad to sleep in your own bed again! The gals said you were able to do some signing and that it didn\'t hurt to do it. That\'s awesome! I\'m making them work hard in class so be glad you are on \"vacation!\" Miss seeing you and look forward to having you back soon! Many hugs!!! Lori : )

Shirley, I am so glad you have your surgery behind you and you are feeling better each and every day. It is so amazing to hear from all the HV patients on this site. It\'s so soothing to me as it calms my nerves. I have to have a aortic valve replacement and was reading thru your journal. I was wondering what type of valve you got at 55 yrs old as far as mechanical or tissue? Did you go to CC then? I hope you continue to feel better and look forward to following your journal. Julie
