My one year valversary!! What an amazing year. It was not without some bumps but I did some really awesome stuff this year. Was suppose to have some neat skydiving pics today but the weather didn't cooperate. Thanks to all of you here!

Petey Bello Congratulations - great pic!!!

Eddie Patton They gave me a bear instead of a heart pillow. He went through a lot of abuse for a few weeks!

Barbara Laurie I received two heart pillows with lots of well wishes written on each from all my care givers turned friends and a bear.. The bear is the nicest for my sternum! Congratulations Eddie❤️

Emily Rowley That's great you are feeling well. You have plenty of time for Skydiving. Take it easy. Adorable bear! Haha new word Valversary, I like it.

Nicola Laker I got a rolled up towel here in the UK. Luckily I purchased my own heart pillow from the US before surgery. Everyone loved it! No one has signed it yet but will take to my appt next month with the surgeon who did my procedure. X

Denise Campbell I love your dog. He looks like my Lucy.

Eddie Patton He is half boxer half who knows. Good dog though.

Petey Bello love the bear & the dog. Looks like my grand puppy who is half boxer & half who knows ;)

Jean Raber Valvaversary! I like it. Doggie looks like my auntie's dog Sarge. What a big slobbery baby he was.

Emily Rowley Same here Nicola, we get a rolled up Hospital towel (sometimes in a pillow case) wrapped with tape. My folks bought me a cheap heart pillow which I still use to this day mostly at night when sleeping 💜

Last year I put off surgery to dance with my daughter at the recital. Couldn't help but thinking that it might be the last time. This is from recital today one year later I am better than ever. Blessed to be here. Many more to come.

What a beautiful day here in Tennessee. Looking forward to days like this is why we go through this. Cheers to all of you valvers, your all bad asses in my book.

Denise Campbell Hi. I have a question for you. Are u on Coumadin? What did your doc say about alcohol and mechanical valve. I do miss a drink but they tell me not too

Eddie Patton Sorry no warfarin for me. Went with tissue. I have read in my research going in that alcohol is not off the table on it though it just has to be factored in. I am not the the one to ask, I am sure there are others here that can speak to it.

Emily Rowley I'm on Coumadin but don't drink, however have family friend on Coumadin (from having a stroke), he drinks alot like everyday & doesn't eat much greens, he is good, just needs to monitor levels esp going overseas. Doctors just have him on a different dose to me.

Emily Rowley Ps. I'm not endorsing drinking lol.

Petey Bello Cheers Eddie! Miss a good 'Yuengling' living out here in Arizona...

Denise Campbell No Emily lol. But a glass of wine or beer once or twice a week would be nice. Especially in summer. Thanks guys.

Enrique K Eddie! Salud my friend. The best decision for me was to go with tissue valve. My surgeon said if you get a mechanical valve you can't drink a sip of alcohol.

This is Rufus, he was a valued member of my support team. As a source of comfort coming home from the hospital and a companion on the many walks during recovery. He passed away this weekend. Gonna miss this guy.

Elaine Cutri I'm sorry to hear about Rufus. He must certainly be in doggie heaven looking over you.

Liz Burroughs I'm so sorry for your loss. You & Rufus will meet again some day. Read the Rainbow Bridge Poem. It has given me comfort when I've lost one of my animal companions.

Eddie Patton Being a life long friend of dogs I know it well. Always brings a tear to my eye remembering my lost friends. Rufus was a bit different, I loved my other animals but he was the one that was there when I was the one that was vulnerable.

Sorry about your friend. Thinking of you!

Kimberly Biddick Im so sorry, losing a pet is so devastating!

No more tests, no more hospitals, no more doctors for a year. Decided to take my wife to the beach to put it all behind us.

Jean Raber Good for you! Isn't having more time what that surgery's all about? Use it and enjoy it.

Eddie Patton Yes ma'am, and I won't forget it.

Enrique K Great to hear that Eddie! You look great. Less than 2 weeks for my surgery and looking forward to feeling great again.

Eddie Patton You will be back at it before you know it. In a couple of weeks you will know that the waiting is over and recovery is around the corner.

Bruce Burnett Hi everyone hope everyone is prepared for their up coming surgery and I know that those that have already gone through it are doing well. I can give everyone a better understanding of what happened to me. Early Monday morning June1 I went into OR had my surgery and by evening everyone new there was a problem they started getting me prepped to go back into OR. I got 2 units of blood pushed into me in ICU they has the original team plus back together took me into OR about 9 PM did not wake up till 9 am Tuesday morning, They had given me 4 units of blood in the surgery room. So I am now home almost ready to jog around the block. Getting into shower phew no shower for a week. received a 25 mm St Jude mechanical valve. The wife is more nervous about everything than I am. Would I volunteer again I basically did it twice already and hope I never have to again.
