Larry Ring Very nice, Jane. Sun and fresh air can be great healers. On my first day home, much to the amazement of my daughters, who watched with great trepidation, I slowly moved a lounge chair out by the pool...took off my shirt...and let the glorious sun penetrate my body. I'd been cooped up in the hospital for six days...and I was done with it!
One of the most glorious cat naps I've ever taken.

Hello everybody! I am at St Vincent's in SW Portland. Surgery on 3/14 was only 2.5 hours instead of 4 and I did not need Rx to get my heart going again. I went to the cardiac recovery unit & was released but the hospital itself was so full, I had to wait

Jane Welp Many thanks to ALL you dear ❤️ Warriors with positive messages. This is DAY 7 of my hospital because breathing is an issue.

Wheeeee......

Jane Welp My pre-operative testing appointment is in progress at St Vincent's. It is going to take hours! However.... Blood work 💉 ✔️Blood pressure arms & legs✔️ Urine sample ✔️ Nose swab for MRSA - no one wants that infection! ✔️

A nurse helped me learn to get in/out of bed after surgery & I practiced breathing with incentive spirometer. ✅✅

A chest X-ray is coming up soon even though the same tests were done @ ER 7 days ago.

I don't need a new EKG; I had hoped to save time 🕒 & 💰 money but obviously not on this trip!

I asked about using my CD player & radio - no answer yet.

I asked about seeing my damaged aortic heart ❤️ valve; they said to ask surgeon. 👩🏼‍🔬 I won't see her until tomorrow morning early. I wanted to ask ahead of time. My goal is to sit up in a chair on day of surgery.

Now we are doing more signing & talking! Bye bye 👋🏽 👋🏽 for now!

Phyllis Petersen Pre-op is pretty intense. I hope you have plans for a nice dinner afterwards.

Civita Fahey Best of luck Jane.. prayers all goes well.

Amy Steele You will be in my prayers, Jane.

Jane Welp Many thanks dear heart ❤️ warrior-friends. Today went well and the last test was the chest X-ray. No surprises on results and it all gotbposted to mychart which can be viewed easily. The best part was a phone from my surgeon, Dr. Swanson and then from the anesthesiologist who answered every question with great patience. I am soooo thankful for the surgical team. I feel ready and with God's help I will get through this huge event and be healthier.

Marie Myers Prayers and all good thoughts going your way!

Barbara Wood I was wondering what a spirometer looked like! Smooth sailing Jane!

Thanks for the advice about a neck pillow. I got a nice one today that features a snap button that will help it stay in place & it's machine washable, too!

Catie B I haven't seen one with a snap before. Great idea!

Jane Welp I tried it out last night sitting in my favorite chair and it was great. It's made by Sharper Image but discounted by the retail giant, Marshall's found in nearby Tigard, OR. I like online shopping but sometimes it's good to see something before you buy it.

Another great poster from the 5th grade classrooms. There is no doubt that a future heart surgeon or cardiologist is in this class!

Jane Welp Thanks Marie! Taking it one day a time! I did some "shopping therapy" for fun. I heard that a snap front house coat might be useful. Old fashioned & not that stylish but maybe just right. I ordered 2 tonight - online shopping is so easy.

I like this photo because I was at work using a dragon puppet for a reading lesson with kindergartners. I had access to two dragons and two young boys in the group - twin dragons, twin boys or so we pretended and then the dragons became brothers. Puppets
