Lorie's Journal

Alan Lonsberry  Hi Lori, I am very sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine the emotional pain that you have been through. I'm glad you are on here, we are all here for one another, welcome.

Wanda Mroz  I'm so sorry for your loss ... And for what you've been through. We're all here for you... Ask questions... We're here to support you. Hugs.... 💞

Rita Savelis  So sorry Lorie. You've been through too much. It's unfair. I had to have OHS because of previous cancer treatment (radiation) and the pre-op anxiety is intense. But you move forward and the same strength that got you through cancer treatment gets you through valve surgery. Take care.

Lorie Anne  Alan, Wanda & Rita, Thank you for the warm welcome. Too say that I am not devastated (again) is putting it very mildly. I see the Cardiovascular Surgeon next Monday, with a list of questions of my own, but I could surely appreciate your input about this process. My regular Cardiologist was shocked at the progression, but concurred with the death of my son, it may have tipped over into this critical phase. I suppose that is the mysteries of life? I've developed very good coping skills over the 40+ years of my life with Cancer dx, however must admit, I have never been more anxious in my life. I am not a candidate for the TVAR, or Balloon options. I hope I did not ramble too much, but thanking you advance for your collective experiences. Love & Light, Lorie

Kate Watson  I'm so sorry you've been through so much, Lorie. It's just not fair. I can't imagine your fears, but this is a great support group and I'm glad you found us. We are all here to help each other through. I am so grateful to have found the lovely people here before I had my second OHS, as it has helped me greatly. Wishing you lots of strength and well wishes in the coming months.

Lilly Black  Hi, Lorie. I'm so sorry for your loss. I also am a mom of one son. Mike is now 35 yrs old. I cannot imagine the pain you have endured when you lost your son. He will be with you forever! I have had 2 open heart surgeries, and have recovered very well through both surgeries. I wish you all the best with yours. You are strong and brave. Keep up the courage, keep positive and take one day at a time.
