I am so happy to be able to write today. I miss communication and my computer at home has been disabled. It seems that time begins to fly when you return to work! I have been feeling pretty good though. I must say that I have NEVER felt this good before. I have always had trouble breathing, for as long as I can remember, and this feeling is just great! I can exercise like I never have. I can talk and exercise! I just get so filled up because I could never do these things before. If I knew the feeling of being able BEFORE my surgery I would still be floored....but I just can not explain how it feels to have lived for 44 years short of breath, tired, and then to be able to breath freely. WOW!!! I love you guys =O) Thank you so much for everything.

Hello everyone, I am happy to say that I have beat the nausea. The cause is still unknown but I have not felt the nausea in a couple of weeks. So many of you talked about the pain being so that you only have to take Tylenol. Well, praise be to God that is the case for me. My providers are still trying to get my Coumadin intake constant, but it keep going from 1.7 one time to 2.8 and my range is 2.5-3.0. It will get better. I can drive now and exercise some too (other than my walking). I was given some arm exercises to do when I left the hospital. For now all is well and I am praying for those to come and for those who have already been. I really love you guys and again thank you so much! Take care....Victoria

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to give an update on my progress. Since I last posted, I have had some ups and downs...with nausea. My providers and I are still trying to get to the root of it, though I believe it may be the medicine. I do not know which one because I am currently taking Amioderone and Coumadin, and 81mg Aspirin. I stopped taking the pain meds because I thought that it may be them because the worse was after taking them. But, I am still having nausea even now. Anyway, I am feeling waaaaay better today that I have for some days now and just wanted to say hi. I will post as soon as they find out what the cause for nausea is. I want to help however I can. Someone else may be suffering. Love you all, Victoria =O)
