Hi Ricki!
I am Lindas daughter Stephanie. Thank you so much for going to see mom the other day.
Its all she and my dad keep talking about and a beautiful orchard you brought her.
Thank you also for helping her get with a good surgeon. He did really good.
Her scar is a little longer than she I think wanted but I tell her its a battle of courage and the war she went through.
Shes hoping to get out tomorrow. We are just mostly worried about that blood pressure of hers.
Just wanted to say thanks again.
Stephanie
I was so happy to finally meet your mom and dad and to find her doing so well. I hope she gets to go home tomorrow and that her recovery goes as smoothly as possible.
Once she's up and about I hope Linda Dixon will head up this way and we'll all go out and celebrate our healthy hearts (and cow valves!)

Hi Ricki,
I\'m so so happy that things are going so well for you. I must admit I haven\'t been on here nearly as much as I should. But, you said it just right when you said there is a new generation of heart patients.
I\'m doing ok. I still have some ups and downs. I think a lot of it is from my weight, which I MUST control and reduce a bit. I think I\'ll feel a lot better when I do that. That\'s on the agenda right now. Otherwise, I feel great. I did develope a thoracic aorta aneurysm, which they are watching closely. Right now. not a big deal. May you continue to do well and enjoy life as you should.
All my best, Diana

Hi Ricki
Happy second birthday. Glad you are doing so well. No reason not to keep it that way. I\'ve had a few bumps in the road but most likely because my heart was enlarged before the surgery and it has also had a few more birthdays. But, I know I wouldn\'t be where I am without the surgery. Take care.

Ricki,
Your history is very similar to mine except my problem was not discovered until February (2012). I was born with a bicuspid valve and have felt sluggish and worn out for years. Until February, I was told there was nothing wrong. My valve was replaced on April 2. My question to you: When did you notice a difference? I start the process for rehab on Monday, but I really do not feel as tho I have any more energy than I did 2 months ago. Now I am trying to determine if it is \"me\" or am I still in recovery stage. My family thinks I should be back to a normal routine @ 6 weeks post op. And maybe that is the problem. I don\'t really remember what a \"normal\" routine was like. I would appreciate your thoughts. I am glad you are doing well. Thanks for your thoughts.
I was so happy to finally meet your mom and dad and to find her doing so well. I hope ... Read more
