It's hard for ME to believe that it's been 10 years we've known each other and this has been going on. It seems to me that you've had a good active life all of this time and I'll be praying for ten more (at least).

Congratulations Rebecca! So good to hear everything is still working well with you, and so encouraging for me! I have almost reached my 8-year anniversary with my pig valve and pacemaker. My cardiologist told me at my last checkup that my follow-up procedure most probably will be done through my femoral artery, and that relieved me a lot. My pacemaker is controlling the upper chamber of my heart 100% and is working great. He said he doesn't know if it will need to be replaced at all. I am so lucky and so thankful to have a great doctor and nurse practitioner.
I hope you continue to improve, and when the times comes you will also be able to have the femoral artery surgery. I hear it's a breeze! Take care!
It was good to hear from you and know that life is going along well. When I drive by the Starbucks in Pville I think of our first meeting, we were funny.
I'm with you I don't care if my scar shows. I'm proud of it as it was the most scary thing I have ever went through (child birth was a piece of cake)

Rebecca, I'm so happy that you have come through this life-changing surgery and can now enjoy the rest of your life. I know you are wondering what to do now that you have retired? Have you thought about volunteering at an animal shelter, or helping drive patients to/from their doctors appointments, volunteer at a non-profit thrift store? There are so many things you can do, and so many people/animals who can benefit from your help. I know you will find a new calling. Best of luck with your future!
By the way, I meet with my surgeon on Thursday. He was pleased with my echo, basically unchanged from 6 months ago, and has said I can probably wait another year or two for my surgery (unless I start having symptoms). So....I'm getting on with my life, too.... <3

Rebecca, so very nice to hear from you and find that you are doing great. Your are encouragement to all the patients and especially me. I am still pre-op and waiting. I believe my next visit to the cardio will produce needing test and then perhaps the surgeon. Even my PCP, who sees me every 6 months wants to see me after I see the cardio and so I see my cardio March 7 and the PCP March 12. Do keep us posted as you go forth. I was retired and then a part time job in a different area from my career job came along and I grabbed it. I love it and then I had been volunteering at a CareNet Pregnancy Service office and I expanded that to 2 times a week. Suddenly I am very busy. You will find your groove (??) without even realizing it, but the days can blurr together without the usual structure. Keep it up and keep us in the loop. God's blessing on you and yours

Rebecca Schneider Susan, Thanks for your update and the encouragement. I was thinking you had had your surgery already. I am thinking about the Crisis pregnancy center here for volunteering. Just need to take the steps. Not planning to work right now. My husband said I don't need to. Being a homemaker feels foreign though......feels like vacation right now.....except I am doing a lot of dishes and laundry and cleaning!
Keep me posted, too.
I probably won't post very often anymore.

Hi Rebecca. We have been keeping up with your progress and praying for you all the way. My parents are retired and I think they are busier (and happier) than I have ever seen them. You'll do great!
Hope you can make it to our Open House next Saturday (the 18th), We would love to see you and meet your husband.

Congratulations on your retirement dear Rebecca. How about learning the Spanish you were interested in before? I took up teaching International Folk Dancing to older women when I retired. I did it for 10 years - I will get back to it I hope if I can figure a way to dance and call the next move. The AF makes me puffed so I will have to modify my style. All the very best to you whatever path you take.
I am from: Austin, Texas
