Bob's Guestbook

Bob. I got that chest pain I think you state the other day. Does it stop when you don't breath? It comes and goes with me, does that sound similar to yours? Can you respond to my email at kennethcolesiny55@yahoo.com

Bob, glad to hear we are on par, however if you read my update, my recliner came in as first place. Overall I'm pleased with my progress as I'm a bit older then you I don't expect to be even on everything. Please keep the updates current, I like them.

Bob you are blessed indeed. I haven't see a story like yours. We had the same operation on the same day and I'll be going home tomorrow, day 6. Welcome to the "other side" heart brother.

Hi Bob, so glad to see you doing so well so soon after! My husband is having mitral valve repair/ replacement in a week right down the road from you in Richmond. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Sending you healing thoughts from RVA

Hi Bob, You are looking great! I had an aortic valve replaced just a year ago with the same procedure, a mini sternotomy. I opted for a tissue valve because I decided not to put up with the blood thinning drugs. You are just into your recovery now and I am sure you did your homework in knowing what to expect. A unsolicited word of advice; let people help you for the first weeks at least. Coughing, laughing, and heaven forbid- throwing up are about the only real pain you may have. Use the heart pillow, it does help. Good luck with your recovery. You feel great sooner than you expect.

Wishing you all the best Bob! The first wk can be tough but then you'll be just fine! I had Aortic Valve replacement 1|13|14 and I feel great! Stay strong brother!!
