MaryAnne's Guestbook

Hi MaryAnne, how are things? I missed your message about getting together in the summer. Let me know if you want to get together soon. email formia0711@gmail.com.

Hi MaryAnne! I saw your post re: antibiotics and colonoscopies. Your gastro doctor was correct, that the guidelines now are to not prescribe antibiotics for heart-valve patients before colonoscopies. I did not receive any before my procedure in '17. But for teeth cleanings and dental procedures, we need them for sure.

hi maryann! hope you are feeling great today! are you using a power recliner? or did you? if so, where did you get your hands on it.... i'm having the darnedest time getting my paws on one that lifts to help the person out of the chair! just wondering if you held the keys to where i should call/look! thank you so much!

Hi MaryAnne, I noticed that you were from Exeter and had surgery at BW. I am glad to hear you are doing well post surgery! I am going to BW December 9 for a mitral valve repair with Dr. Aranki - this after a 2.5 week delay due to a cold and cough. I have lived in the Exeter area for over 20 years, just recently moved to Newington Village. Nice to see a neighbor on the board! Suzanne

hello maryann! happy thanksgiving! thank you again for your wonderful words about dr. shekar! as monday draws nearer, we're coming up with tons of questions about our time and brigham & womens and everything else. my mom is feeling super anxious, understandable so. she is 65, in good health, and desperate to have it over with, while simultaneously dreading it. how are you feeling now, about a month post-op? i hope that your feeling well enough to be enjoying today with your family, but that everyone is doing the cooking for you. ☺️

Hi MaryAnne, I wanted to send you a note now since my surgery is the day before yours. I wish you peace, courage, & a calm spirit as you go into surgery. I know you'll have a very successful surgery. I'll say a prayer for you Monday morning as I leave for the hospital. Take care & I hope to hear from you soon after our surgeries. I will think of you this week. Take care & good luck! Liz

Hi Mary Anne, I just read one of your previous postings and I felt a need to respond to your question. I have had cancer three times in the past and I had my Aorta valve replaced this past Feb. I have had a fast recovery, nothing unusual with my recovery and actually, I had a fast recovery with feeling just great after a couple of weeks. I can do anything I want, no restrictions and have more energy than ever. I work from early morning until bedtime as we have 2 young grandchildren that live with us. I know you are worried but it will be over before you know it, you will feel so much better and be on the road to better health. Keep your faith and know that a lot of people are thinking of you, praying for you and I know you will be on here with nothing but praise for having this done.
