“Happy Holidays!” From Robyn, Ethan and Me
By Adam Pick on December 20, 2011
As the year winds down, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy holidays!
I also wanted to thank you for your ongoing participation in this unique community. This has been an incredible year for this project. So you know, this website had over one million visits during 2011. Needless to say, that is a clear testament to the empowering ways in which we continue to help each other through the experience of heart valve surgery.
On behalf of Robyn, my wife, and Ethan, my son, “Happy Holidays!” and “Happy New Year!”
Keep on tickin’ in 2012!

Hi Adam, Thank you for this website and your book; the information in them and the participants in the website have been extremely helpful in preparing for my mitral valve and maze surgery and during the recovery process afterwards. Knowing there are so many others (unfortunately) who are experiencing similar issues and reading about them and communicating with some of them has been extremely helpful! Thanks again, and happy holidays and New Year, the best is yet to come! John Lund |

Well, we wouldn’t be here without you, Adam and your selfless work. You are very much appreciated. Am passing your book on to a neighbor who will be having mitral valve surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Your card covers it all. Enjoy your happy family. |

Thanks for all the help, Adam and happy holidays for your entire clan. Because of your book and a few e-mail interchanges we’ve had, I have to say that my heart surgery has been, for the most part, a non-event mentally. It is hard to really feel it was major surgery. That would not have been the case had I not been prepared and known what to expect. Most of the physical ‘non-event’ has to be to the credit of Dr. Guadiani and his surgical team and Sequoia Hospital’s matching expertise in patient care. My cardiologist, Dr. McWhirter gets credit for boosting me over more recent slightly hard parts. Hopefully he will root out the arrhythmia bit next month and I’ll only have the rehabilitation phase to accomplish. Please keep up the good work. |
