Hi Patrick
Good to get a positive update from you. So glad everything went well, including your new mechanical pal. You\'ll be able to listen to it\'s sweet ticking as you drift off for your nap.

Hi Patrick
Too bad about your surgery delay but in the end we have to believe it is all for a good reason. We are so anxious to see it get done that we put a lot of store in the original date and after that it\'s all about it could have been done and over with by now. It\'s good you have chosen your replacement valve and are comfortable with your choice. Did you figure out how to move about and write in other people\'s journals yet? Look up at the blue lined headings and in particular \"Search Journals\" and you can either scroll down the listings you see or if you remember a name, type in any form of that name and those names closest will pop up. From there you can jump right to that journal. There is some really good reading to be had. Good luck.

Hey Patrick...I just wanted to say hello and remind you that I am here for you if you or Lisa need anything at all. You know I love you all and would do anything to be helpful. Patrick...It\'s hard to believe such a beautiful heart as yours could be anything but perfect. I know you are very strong and all will go just fine. I\'m sending the luck of 1,000,000 four leaf clovers and that should be a sufficient amount. If you need more just let me know ok. I have plenty. LOL
Love You and I will see you soon, your sister

Hi Patrick
Well, it\'s just about time. I know your surgery is tomorrow, do you know yet what time and what kind of a valve you\'re getting? This time next week you could be back home recovering and getting on with your life. A prayer for you for a very successful surgery. Hope someone will keep us posted.

Congrats on finding this wonderful resource. I have learned so much here and am having to make the same decision on a valve. I did think about the On-X but think I have settled on the St Jude since it has such a long and proven track record.
Good luck on your surgery. Mine is May 21 at Duke University Medical Center.

Hi Patrick! Welcome to HVJ. I have the same diagnosis as you and will have my surgery on May 20th. I\'ve found this site and all the people here to be very helpful and supportive. I\'m sure I\'d be far more nervous without them.
Where are you having your surgery?
Best of luck.
