When your cardio md notes are thicker than a book you know you've had a heart valve replacement!

Cris Dykeman I was excited about the package until I realized it was just paperwork for my new doc

Marie Myers I can sympathize . Until last fall, I was a person who just visited their primary doc once a year to check that everything was still normal... Then, BAM! You have an aneurysm that needs fixing..You meet cardiologists, have scans, have surgery...all quite a shock...

Laura Jacobs Good grief! That is a high stack!

Bob Gillespie That's over my carry limit!

Sophia Ridley Cris! Loving all the anniversary posts, all fabulous inspiration! Thankyou! Also good to see you wearing your scar so well, I've been wondering what to do. I'm a newbie so taken to scarves as it heals. I'm thinking later that if it doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother others??
I wish you well with your continued recovery.

Elaine Foster Great to see your sweet smile Chris! So glad you are doing well. God Bless you and Merry Christmas

This awesome lady in the white hat has been an inspiration. So sad to have lost her to pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago. Any time I'm struggling I think of how strong Christy was.

It really blows my mind how well you look on only Day 5. Very, very encouraging. If not for the scar, just looking at your face, it would be hard to even know that you just had OHS. Amazing. Good luck to you. And thank you for posting your photo so we can all see how quickly the progress can be.
