Hi Gary! I've been trying to locate you and Joel. Wow! What a way to find you! You have an amazing story. I have no idea if you will see this message but I did see your number posted in a note and will call soon. I am so very grateful for your recovery!

Gary, It\'s great to hear from you and that you are doing so well. Stick with the exercise it has many positive benefits. I\'ve been into Tai Chi now for 7 months and learning more each week. Thanks for resuming your journal.

I knew you would pull through, cause you want to go ski next year. Come on down to Houston before it gets to hot. We can go workout everyday and eat well.

Hi Gary,
I know your pain with the pericardial effusion. I had 1 1/2 pints drawn off my heart 5 weeks after my MVP repair. The dr literally told me had I waited until the next morning to come in to the er, I would have probably died overnight! Talk about a wake up call. I am now doing great and enjoying life again, as you will too. Take it slow and know that God is in control and probably telling you, like me, to slow down! Praying for a fast recovery for you.

Hi Gary,
You are gracious about the frustration of losing the long blog. I have learned to make a copy before submitting a long blog, and keeping it until I actually see my blog on the website. (The last one that I \"lost\" was even after getting a message \"Duplicate submission\".)
I don\'t think you ever said how old you are, or what kind of valves you were given. It would be good to know those things as we track your recovery.
God bless!

Hi Gary!
Everybody told me recovery is a long haul, and it is. But the pace of progress i am making is exponential, and probably will be for you too.(By that I mean the progress is extremely slow at first, but gradually accelerates, so don\'t get discouraged the first few weeks.)
Please keep up the frequent reports!

I\'m relieved that your trip home went well and that Eric and Joel were there for you. I know you needed to be in your own house after being here for so long, and you\'ll probably see your recovery take a faster pace while you get back in familiar territory. I miss you, but I know you\'re where you need to be now. Thank you for your kind words. I\'m glad you were here. Keep pushing yourself! Get well! I know you will! I love you. Gayle (and Edd)

Hi Gary I am glad that you are home and your surgery was a success. Your sister Gayle and her husband Ed sound likes angels. You are so blessed. They certainly took good care of you. Continued healing and we will talk by phone soon. Good thoughts coming your way. Kathy

Gary,
It\'s great to hear you are going home finally after a month or so of recovery. I told my sis Ellie about your challenges and where you have been. She\'s temporarilly in Largo, FL shipping her things to Cincy so she\'ll get to see you there when she gets back. I guess she is returning to her roots, since what\'s left of the family is mostly there and that\'s good.
Hey, it was just a few years back that we had you you here for Thanksgiving. We\'re going to Tulsa to visit with Donna this coming Monday so that will be good to see her and her kids and grandkids.
Keep us posted Gary. All of us truly have much to be thankful for! Praise the Lord!
Warmest regards,
Jim & Nancy
P.S. Tell Gayle that she did a wonderful job looking after you this last month, truly a sterling performance.

Thank you, Gary, for your loving and genuine words of appreciation not only for your Sister, Gayle, and Ed, but also for me. Gayle and I have spent a lot of time on the phone with each other over our concern for your recovery. Basically you can sign her up for saving your life because she was persistent with the surgeon about your last batch of symptoms that got you in the operating room quickly for your pericardial window, which, finally has you on the \"right road\" for recovery. It pleases me to see you improving. I\'ll be waiting at the airport with Eric to take you home! Keep healing, though; you still have a little more to go!!!! Joel

Gary,
Fabulous news! First Class ticket, eh? Only the best for a First Class Guy!
Please remember it tends to be a little snappy (cold) in Cincy this time of year. Make sure you have your muffler, mittens and a warm hat. Do I sound like Mom? I recommend a red plaid Stormy Kromer hat. (google \"Stormy Kromer\")
Glad you are mending my friend. Keep it up!
Be well, Do Good Works, Stay in Touch.

Sounds good, Gary! So glad you are strong enough to fly home.
Isn\'t it amazing what they can do for our hearts these days? and the experience does a lot for our figurative hearts, as well. (I\'m thinking of how much closer you are to your sister now, and even experiencing a better relationship with your ex-wife?)
Anyway, I join you in expressing thanks to God for your progress.

Hi Gary,
I have been following your recovery from the sidelines. I am also a pilot and will be having my AV replaced within the next few years. I really understand when you talk about missing flying. Good luck and enjoy the upgrade!!

Gary,
You and your doctors must be pretty darn confident that you\'ve got the recovery under control. I am looking forward to your uncensored assessment of your \"adventure\".What will your medical protocol be when you get back in town? Do you have a cardiologist and pcp standing by?
I would like to see how you are doing. Maybe if you feel up to it on Monday you could call me at work. 679-2023 x-15.
Mike has been using me as an information liason regarding your progress...I have been giving him everthing I know as soon as I know it.
You won\'t be too keen on our weather here...its beginning to seem more wintry all the time... still dry even though we\'ve had an inch or so of rain this week.
See you soon.
