Hi Daryl
Hopefully, this is just a blip in your healthy heart. Hope the ablation \"sticks\" and all will be well going forward and you\'ll have your hernia surgery pronto. Only best wishes to you.

Hi Daryl,
I have been trying to find your Catheterization mishap story but can\'t seem to get to it properly. Do you know how to send it to me?
I am scheduled for one this week and would appreciate any information and advice you might have about how to have things go smoothly?

You are just motering right along down there. Good news about the procedure and especially good news about getting back on your bike. 10 speed are we talking? Just kidding.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Daryl
So glad your conversion worked, that\'s the best news. Mine didn\'t but after 14 years in arythmia didn\'t really think my heart would want to change out of its\' comfort zone. Have been on coumadin that long and will stay on it, no biggie for me.

Your recovery seems to be on track and I\'m glad for you. How is the exercise going? You said you weren\'t allowed to lift weights yet but are you doing your walks? You must be doing something right.
Take care.

Hi Daryl
Don\'t be discouraged. If you\'ve been reading these journals long enough you know there are bumps in the road and then smooth sailing. I\'ve been on coumadin for 14 years. You, most likely will be on it for a while till that great heart of your decides to find its\' normal rhythm. Keep healing.

Hi Daryl
Can\'t get over how many of us end up having an arrhythmia afterwards. I\'d almost be saying it\'s an extremely common blip. Were you not on Coumadin/Warfarin right after your surgery? Just curious. My valve was repaired in October but I always had the arrhythmia. I\'ve been on Warfarin ever since and am not sure when I\'m getting off. I haven\'t bothered asking because I noticed on my blood requisition the date looked to be April so I am just waiting it out to see what happens. Happy to hear you are otherwise doing well. Keep it up. Cheryl, Ontario

Re: Getting better, yeah, gotta love the Beatles!
Glad to hear it is going very well for you and a nice warm place like St. Petersburg can\'t be bad! Although up north here, today was 50 degrees and everyone and his brother was out and about and thinking it was spring!
My husband had the Mitral Valve Reg as well and has had his ups and downs but it is mostly going up up up and again \"getting better all the time.\" You just keep getting better - everyone is thinking of you, but don\'t hurry to respond - just take it easy and respond when you can - we\'ll all be happier when we see it, that\'s aall.

Hi Daryl
There is no place like home. Glad you are back and appreciating all the finer things in life such as the heat. That was tough for me to say because we are enjoying a balmy 6C so what\'s that, almost 40\'sF? You just get attuned to that warm and sunny weather, don\'t you?
I\'m glad you are back and getting into recovery mode. Don\'t hurry this thing so remember, baby steps. Keep that spirometer smiling and enjoy your walks, a little more each day. Cheers. Cheryl, Ontario

Good Morning, Daryl
Don\'t worry about catching up on emails, you need to pace yourself and heal. Not sure where your brother lives, but you must be chilly in St. Pete. Even here in Bonita Springs (SW FL)it\'s been a chilly winter. They say we\'ll get up to 70 today, I hope so. Can\'t complain when I see what\'s happening up north. Seriously, glad you\'re doing so well.

Hi Daryl
Wanted to check in and see how you are managing. Hope you are finding yourself getting a little stronger and get those breathing exercises and walks done, every day. Breathing exercises many times a day. Sometimes when you don\'t have someone there to remind you to keep at it, you might just put it off. Here is you reminder! Take care. Eat well too. And as Penny said, pat the bike. Cheryl, Ontario

Hi Daryl!
Great to hear from you! You are only allowed to pat your bike, nothing more! Here in the UK, by law you have to get medical clearance before your can drive or ride after heart surgery and it\'s a minimum of 4 weeks for a car, must be double that for a bike? But apart from safety issues you don\'t want to have any setbacks, especially with your history. You have the wonderful Florida climate to help your healing. I hope to be writing long and boring updates this time next week, it will be just what you need to get you to sleep!
Warmest wishes

Hi Daryl
Boy, you are a record for getting in and out except for all the traffic you encountered! Was that a rush hour surgery? Now you\'ve rattled Fran because she was only expecting the bus.
Anyway, I\'m really happy to hear you are out and now beginning the lengthy process of getting on your feet. If you learn anything from these journals, let it be to take it a step at a time and not rush it. Hopefully your brother will pamper you just a little. He may need the favour returned one day.
Keep us posted as to your progress. Good to hear from you.
