Thinking about you all. Thank you for taking the time to keep us informed.
Barb, No doubt you'll be doing laps around the unit in no time. Think good healing thoughts! We are doing that too.

Sending love,

Ral West posted a note for Barbara that says: We are thinking of you, Barb, and Ron and Emily, too! We were where you are right now just 3 years ago when John had his valve replaced. And as we have told you, he's doing great. It will be over soon and then you can focus on healing and recovering from the surgery. Follow the Dr's advice and walk as soon as you can -- it really helped John speed his recovery along.
Love and best wishes to you all!

Sorry you drew that straw. 😩 Sounds like you will have the smaller incision. I'm happy for that. Good pain meds will help your comfort level and facilitate healing. You can do it, Barb!! I'm cheering for you as are many others.
Thank you, Emily and Ron, for your loving support!!
Love, Shelby
