Hi Sheila ... congrats ! looks like you are coming up to your 3 year anniversary soon enough. I will be having AVR in less than 2 weeks, and I just started to read your journal. already I identify. Have to smile when I read that you were hiking on the PCT while you waited. I am a PCT "fan" ... not done it, just read every book on it! thanks for sharing ... I am off to finish reading your journal. Hugs,
Way to go Sheila! Don\'t you think 60 is the new 40? (or 30?). Especially with wonky valves fixed. Glad all is well.

Sheila Garrison Absolutely! I have more energy - endurance - strength and NO health issues since having my valve replaced. I'm very thankful for how well it turned out.
Hi Sheila,

I do already have that week off.....I definitely plan on going to the hospital...and some quiet reflection sitting outside the window I believe was my ICU room.... I also plan on sending my thanks to the ICU staff and my surgeon......just a time for being humble and thankful.

Hi Shelia....
Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary! I will have my AVR on 7/17/12, & I am looking forward to the massage therapy provided @ CC!!! How wonderful you can help heart patients with your \"magic hands\" and be able to truly relate to them! What a great opportunity to pay if forward.
Diggin the cookies! It is almost lunch time here....now I am hungry! :):)
Thanks for sharing,

I have your date circled on my calendar and will keep you in my prayers.
I would love to meet you when you come to San Diego, if possible. Let me know if you can squeeze in a lunch date or better yet...a nice walk!
My recovery was a breeze and I wish the same for you. My best advise to you.....don't do too much at first. It's tempting (and we've al done it), but let your body heal.

Hey Sheila...It\'s Mari. Sorry it has been awhile since you emailed me. I read your blog about how you are now massaging HVR patients. That is awesome!! I certainly could have used that during recovery. Yes, our one year anniversary has come. What an amazing marker in our lives. Have you already gotten together with other patients from our blog site? I hope not. I just finished my work as a teacher and got back from vacation with my family. Now summer can begin. I am actually trying to figure out what my next steps will be. A year of healing and a year of change.
I just had my heart rate checked yesterday as I went to the doctor for something simple . Anyway, resting HR was 72. I couldn\'t believe it! No wonder I feel so good. I started running again and feel great! I got busy there for awhile but am now back into it.
Anyway, Sheila...look forward to talking with you
Mari :)
