JoAnne
What wonderful news that you did so well they released you early. Nothing like being in your own home to recover! I imagine you are sleeping in a recliner or propped up in bed? Your partner is a keeper, going through trials either strengthens or weakens a relationship. Yours is stronger.Keep us up to date.

All the Best, Rebecca

Joanne, our prayers have been answered. I'm so happy you're feeling better and I know healthier. God bless you and I'll keep you in my prayers. Love, Vicki

JoAnn, Gerry and I are very happy to hear your good news. Wow, you must be a very good shape that they're sending you home so soon! Great!! You'll sleep better and recover faster by being home. Way to go!

Way to be strong Joanne! I know you'll be happier at home, and the kitties can snuggle up for more comfort. I'll call you next week to see how I can help, once you've gotten settled in. Meanwhile, heal well :)

Cynthia

Hi JoAnne, Am so glad that you are home and that Steve will be taking good care of you. I just figured this guestbook thing out.
Do you need anything? I hope to drop by to see you sometime next week. Take care of yourself and hopefully you will be able to sleep better at home. You have done an amazing job. Take care. Madeleine

Hi Joanne:
Thanks for giving us the update and so glad you are home.
Will be thinking of you and hope to see you soon.

Hi JoAnne

Congratulations on your successful surgery. You can now stand tall and be very proud of joining a new branch of the HVJ - post-op and rehab advancements. Now it will be all about getting on your feet, doing your breathing exercises and walking. Look forward to your future. Cheers.

Cheryl, Ontario

Keep up the good work, JoAnne and thanks for keeping us updated, Jan'et.

Please know that you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear "Jo", I was glad to hear you are out of ICU. It's a bit exhausting at first. Take a nap when you need to as well as pain meds. Also ask questions- they expect that, and it helps in your recovery. Wishing you good thoughts and sending love your way. Love, Mary lou, your sister-in-law

JoAnne,
So happy to hear of your successful surgery!! I wish you the best and a speedy recovery:) You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kimberly Schlienz

JoANNE, We are SOOOOOO Happy about your successful surgery! We all look forward to your at home recovery! Ja'net, thank you for the GREAT updates on your sister's progress. There is nothing better than a sibling that you are close to who gives your the spiritual support like you have given JoAnne! Thanks for the wonderful news! Larry

The worst is over and the best is yet to come. Stay strong Joanne and I'll see you soon! White light :) Cynthia

Thanks for the update of such good progress and don't think any of us here on the HVJ would think we are being "bombarded". We just want the best for JoAnne. Prayers for continued healing.

YIPPEE -- I just knew everything would go well. Now just hurry up and get out of the hospital and mobile again!! You've been in my thoughts and prayers and remain there.

Take care!!

Judy

JoAnne,so good to hear all is well. All of us at the salon have been thinking of you.
We hope to see you soon.
Pam

JoAnne,
I am so pleased and relieved that everything went so well! I envy you for your thoughtful and upbeat spirit in encountering this "bump in the road", and look forward to the day when you are home with Steve again.
I shall continue to keep you in my prayers.
Love,
Susan B.

So relieved everything went so well! Joanne, you were in my dream last night!!! Pam and Arnie

Hi JoAnne,

The Reynolds' family is so glad to hear that your operation was a success! :) If you'd like some company, please let me know. I'll be working at the hospital all next week and could certainly stop by when you are up to having visitors.

Wishing you a smooth recovery!

Stephanie, Michael, and Frances

Wonderful news!

Now that the old chassis has a new part, she should really be classy!

JoAnne, I am so happy for you and wish you all the best. I say "shungo, shungo, shungo" meaning "heart" in Quichua, the language of the Incas. It is one of the healing chants of the Ecuadorian shamans to make sure that there are no barriers in your path to recovery. Shungo, Shungo, Shungo!

JoAnne,
Was so happy to hear that you did well. You are in my prayers. Janet, thanks fro keeping us posted. Jan Frieden

Thanks for the update that all went well. Even though she says she doesn't want visitors for a couple of days, would think she would be cheered by your being there and giving her your love and a gentle hug. Prayers for an easy recovery.
Fran Z

Hi JoAnne,

I was thinking about you all day yesterday. I know things went well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up with the great attitude!! Love, Deneen

Hi "Jo", We heard from our sister Janet by phone just a few minutes ago. Surgery is over and you are OK. We know God is watching over you and you are in one of the top hospitals. We are keeping you in our prayers. You have such a kind and gentle spirit. Keep up the positive outlook- you're going to do great !! Love to you, lots of hugs and kisses, your brother Jeff, Mary Lou, Emily, and Sarah

Good evening, JoAnn and Ja'net. Gerry and I are hoping to read an update tonight(?) on how the surgery went today. Hoping to hear something soon. All our good hopes and wishes to you, JoAnn!
Pam Bartlett

JoAnne we are all thinking of you and checking to see the updates. I will miss seeing you in the salon tomorrow and hope you will be getting some rest and recoving nicely.

Pam

JoAnne, I have thought about you today with a light hearted feeling that your spirit is well and that your body will be well now. I wish you a speedy recovery; no one can tell stories with a laugh like you can [and I need a hair cut} ! Ha Ha See you soon, Larry Whitlock

Joanne,

You're in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you the best.

Elaine

Well, you're all set for the big day. Pray the surgery goes well and tomorrow at this time you will be in CICU and on your way to recovery. Just do all the staff ask of you, they are the pros and you'll be fine.
Fran Z

Hi JoAnne,

Just wanted to wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery! I know you will come through with flying colors. I just met with the surgeon yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for June 3rd, so I look forward to reading about you experience.

Kimberly S.

Hi JoAnne

Wishing you good luck today for your cath and will be following along as you travel through the heart surgery maze. A good positive attitude will help you conquer what comes and I pray your surgery and recovery are successful and quick.

In the end I say it's really not so bad. Having your dear dad around with his quick sense of humour will definitely be a boost.

Keeping you in my prayers.

Cheryl, Ontario

JoAnne,

Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you, praying for you, and know everything will go well tomorrow. You're very blessed to be here where the care is so great. And when you get home you'll have your Dad and Steve to wait on you hand and foot.

Good luck and keep up attitude -- it's a winner!!

Judy

Dear JoAnne,

Best wishes as you move through the next few days. I love your attitude, and I will be thinking of you, holding you in my heart.

And just so you know I love my haircut, thank you!

I'll be out of the country for a couple of weeks, and I hope that all goes really well. I look forward to the next time I can log on and hear how you are doing.

God Bless,

Carolyn Merrick

Hi Joanne,
Tomorrow is the beginning of your new life. How exciting! Our lives are very much alike. My Mom passed away 7 years ago, and my Dad has been lost without her ever since. I take care of him, splitting my time here and at my fiances'. Dad will be staying with us at my fiances' while I recuperate. My surgery is May 19th.
All the best to you, and I will be thinking of you tomorrow and you will be in my prayers.

Diana

Hi Joanne! Well,tomorrow is the big day! I hope it doesn't "change" your big, beautiful heart in any way. Best of luck, Arnie and I are thinking good thoughts. I guess I'll read how long you're in the hospital from this website and when you're busting out so I can come see ya'? Love Pam

Dear JoAnne,

What an encouragement to read your entry! Here you are
uplifting your readers when you are the one about to have
surgery! Thank you for sharing your story and your heart-
felt thoughts!
Carl, Dorothy, and I will continue to pray for you as you
go to surgery and recover. I am so grateful for God's good plans to have your dad here and for how you learned of your need for surgery and how your client referred you to Dr. Kern,.... His ways are wonderful!
We'll be following your progress.

We love you,
Nancy

JoAnne, I know that you're in the best of hands, medically and spiritually. I'll be praying that you have a comfortable and problem-free recuperation. All the best, Pam.

JoAnn, Gerry (Bishop) and I (Pam Bartlett) have had you on our minds, esp. this morning. You are so prepared! No question has been left unasked, and you have a great surgeon, so we look forward to hearing all about your new-found post-op energy! Best wishes for tomorrow.

I'm thinking about you Jo Anne, and sending white light your way :) I'll be following your recovery with the help of your sister. You're strong and courageous, and will be feeling so-o-o-o much better once you are healed. Cynthia

Hi JoAnne!

Best wishes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery. You're in great hands.

Ricki Shine

Good Morning JoAnne
You are most likely in the midst of your heart cath now. Hopefully there will be no surprises and your coronary arteries are clear. Prayers for a successful surgery tomorrow and glad someone will be posting your updates after surgery so we will know how well you're doing.
