Made it to the top of cardiac hill today with no problems. This is where I first discovered that I had a problem. It's so nice to be able to climb the hill without feeling like I was going to die.

Awesome view! Looks like it was worth the hike and the surgery! Congrats!!

So glad you are feeling well Gregg! Keep on healing. Pretty cool hike. Great Job! When are you climbing Mt. Everest :-)

Hi Gregg. I just wanted to see how you are coming along. I have my first follow up with Dr. Bailey next Wednesday. Maybe we can soon make plans to meet somewhere in Pittsburgh to celebrate our recovery. You made it up Cardiac Hill. That's really impressive!!!
Gregg Nissly
Frances, let's keep in touch on the website. I'm not sure how to exchange personal emails confidentially through the website. It sounds like you are doing very well. You are now 16 days post op, I think. My biggest recommendation is to walk as much as you can.

Michael, Christine,Liz, and Kimberly, thank you so much for the support and encouragement. I've been following most of you for the last few weeks and it's such a relief to finally be going into surgery.

Hi Gregg. I am from Pittsburgh too. I recognized Market Square and the annual Christmas Market behind you. I hope everything went well for you today and that you're home in time for the holidays!
