Joan Davenport Hi Rich,
Thanks for writing to me. Where do you live in Sparta? I checked the phone book but there weren't any listings for your name. Are you a friend of Jim and Janet or is your mother? Would love to hear more.

Hi Joan, Glad to hear you are doing good. I was thinking about you, Mitch and Selma during that storm. Glad you survived it. That was pretty scary. I feel so sorry for all the poor people still suffering there. All we had was a cloudy day and a little wind, but we always get wind here. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be Thankful for.
Mooing all over

Joan it is so good to read your five month update. Very encouraging! I am so glad your home was not damaged by the tree! Wow! I heard from someone at my rehab that they went to a trainer to help them push to the next level and they felt it really helped. Happy Thanksgiving and prayers for continued solid recovery!

Look at you feeling good and like, \"what surgery!!!\" Wow Joan, I could not be happier for you. Rought start, fantastic finish. Better than the other way around! Keep up the good recovery work. Who knows, maybe you will start making regular trips to NYC just to see shows and have fun....OK, maybe not. LOL.
Be well Joan. Let me know if you do make it back to NYC, would love to see you again.

Hi Joan, It doesn\'t seem like it has been that long since your surgery. With Dr Oz I just watch him on tv. He my favorite doctor lol. I will be going to St Francis (Bon Secours) in Greenville SC with Dr Mazaraz and Dr Dennis assisting. What is so scary is the words ASAP, its complicated and having his partner being the main doctor cause of the anuserym. Not sure what he is going to do until he gets in there for anuersym but he did explain one of two things that he was going to do. He is the expert on anuersyms. It is all so close together that is what is making it complicated. But I have put my faith in God and the doctor told me his hands would also be there. I will just be glad when its over with. You take care and enjoy rehab. Cant wait to get there myself. Loosing all this weight I also need to get rid of a lot of flab, so I will have 2 purposes. Take care
Almost there

Hi Joan...you sound great!! Isn\'t cardiac rehab fun? I only have one more week left (total of 12), but I also plan to continue once my time is up. I really enjoy it and I feel so much better when I go. I will do things there that I would never do at home. Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary and I almost forgot! 6 months ago I could not have imagined I would ever forget! So happy you are doing so well and about the metoprolol...told you so, lol! I tried to come off completely, but it looks like the 12.5 mg once per day is my new BFF. But that\'s okay, it seems to be keeping my heart rate down and I don\'t get too drowsy as long as I don\'t sit down, lol. Take care and let\'s keep in touch.
Gooooo Tigers!!!

Joan Davenport Hi Linda,
Wow, you are getting down to the wire now. I remember that last week before surgery....it can get kinda intense unless you stay real busy which is what I did.
You mentioned Dr. Oz....are you going to NYPresbyterian? I saw him running around while I was there....very friendly guy.It will all be over soon and you'll wonder where the time went. I can hardly believe it's 3 months now since my surgery.
You have an advantage over me in that you are alot younger than I am and you probably didn't wait as long as I did to have my aortic valve replaced, I didn't think I had any symptoms either, but looking back I did get out of breath more often than I should have, but I didn't think that much of it.
My cardiac re-hab is going along fine and I just completed my first week.....11 more to go. Alot of the people in my class stay on after their 12 weeks is up and they pay to use it like it's their gym or something. It's nice because they have 4 RN's monitoring us all the time (checking blood pressure, pulse rates etc.) and not letting us overdo things. I was telling one of the nurses about this website and Adam's book and she asked if she could borrow it so I took it in for her today. We really are very fortunate to have this HVJ and Adam's book to guide us.
If I can help you in any way just
