3 weeks post surgery. Am doing really well.
12/19/16 Aortic Root Surgery
12/23/16 decided needed a pace maker
12/25/16 home - best xmas gift ever
first week + my personal body temp was way off (not a fever) hands/feet hot-cold and then nothing tasted right
Now i'm almost back to normal.
In Cardiac Rehab M-W-F plus trying to walk as often as i can.
Thankful for the little things - life, family, friends, smiles
Good eye opener & reminder to stay focus on what is truly important <3
Catie B Great to hear, Kathy! The walking and cardiac rehab are a real help. Best to you!

In the home stretch. Had my pre-op appointment today - all went well - passed with flying colors. Amazing staff. I know that i am in the best surgeon's hands and his team will be their to get me thru with a stronger heart.
I just rec'd a call from Dr. Grehans lead nurse, Brenda to inform me that she cannot be at my surgery because her father just passed and she has his services monday. She has already set me up with another loving great nurse who will hold my hand and give me the best care ever and she will come find me on Tuesday. Now that is service.
Scared but feeling blessed and positive <3

Jim Whipple Hi Kathy, I know exactly what you mean. I have about 10 days to go before my surgery and all of those feelings and emotions are running all over me. I am trying to be brave and doing a pretty good job of it but inside things are in turmoil. Just hang in there because there is nothing we can really do but trust in our choices and those you are carrying out those choices and trust in God and his plans for us.
Cathleen Weed Remember the surgery is up to the surgeons..the healing is up to you 💛 . You got this! ❤️

Judy Paul Good luck, Kathy. All is set up, now you should relax over the weekend, and know that you are going to be fine. The first few days are tough, then the rest of the recovery is totally manageable. Best wishes.
