Hello Rose, just wanted to tell you that i really appreciated your encouragement and kind thoughts. Out for now
Hi Rose,
Like you, I've had a lot of post surgery complications but I'm hoping the current regime of high dose amiodaraone and diltiazem (calcium channel blocker) will be a good set-up for cardioversion on December 28th.
I also saw your reference to growing up in a family of five boys and you, the only girl. That's my story too! I was the youngest, lol.
AND, we both had rheumatic fever as a child. True HEART SISTERS I think!
BEST WISHES from snowy Vancouver Island. We don't have much snow at sea level but it's a winter wonderland out there this morning!

Rose Madura Hi Janet! It does sound like we are true heart sisters! I have two older brothers and three younger brothers. In 2019, my husband and I plan to go on an Alaskan cruise and land tour and it originates in Vancouver. We will spend 2 days in Vancouver sightseeing. I envy your snow. I'm one of those crazy people who absolutely LOVES snow! Unfortunately, it looks as if I will not be getting a white Christmas here in Kettering, Ohio. I sure hope this cardioversion works for you. It sounds like they are working hard to figure it all out. Our bodies are all so different, so I can imagine that we are sort of like experiments when something does not go as planned. I know my doctors were baffled. My cardiologist told me that at one point, I looked so bad he just knew something was terribly wrong. That's when they realized that I had all that fluid around my heart which was causing me to go into Afib and Aflutter. I said all that to say this...I believe they will work it all out for you - hopefully next week. I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Keep us updated.
Barbara Wood Another 5 brothers, only girl here ( second to youngest) ! Best wishes on your cardioversion Janet, & happy holiday wishes to you both!
Rose Madura Wow! We're triplets! Merry Christmas to you both.

I am the youngest in my family. Five noisy brothers, who played ball hockey in our large kitchen when Mom and Dad went to church Sunday evenings and my brothers weren't singing in the boys and men's choir! I hid in the stairwell because of the noise! Maybe they played with a rolled up sock but I do remember that the door frames needed a coat of paint every Spring!!
A very Merry Christmas to you two!

Rose - Your recent post was very faith building regarding complications. I have also had numerous complications (2 OHS in 1.5 years) & was just sincerely praying about my attitude over it tonight - and saw your post shortly thereafter (I actually pastor an Apostolic church in Oregon). Simply, your attitude about the complications are quite inspirational. Thank you & God Bless!

Yes, not too many of us rheumatic fever kids any more. I go for cath at the end of May, but am worried because I am suddenly so breathless. Mitral is worse for me, but they think perhaps the aortic should be replaced too. I plan on Cleveland Clinic, you? How do you feel?

Rose Madura Hi Nancy, I just feel a little tired. Sometimes out of breath but I've been taking it really easy so as not to exert myself. I'll be going to Kettering Medical Center at The Benjamin and Marian Schuster Heart Hospital. We discussed the Cleveland Clinic with my doctor but he didn't think it was necessary because KMC does many of these surgeries. And we have a very qualified and recommended surgeon.
Nancy Roberts Sounds good Is it important not to exert yourself?
Rose Madura For me, that's what the doctor recommended. Every case is different.
