Wiliam Height What a year! Welcomed my new son into the world and prepare myself for OHS--all the more reason to get this done! Gonna miss picking him up, but he's trained me for no sleep. My 7 year old daughter is not aware of my surgery and still debating how and what to tell her?

Cheryl Batzing beautiful family, William. You'll know what's right to tell your daughter. I actually had a similar situation with my dad....and opted to not tell him until it was over. Prayers coming your way.

Daniel Spurgeon I told my young daughter that Elsa froze my heart and the doctor was going to unfreeze it. Your daughter might be too old for that cover story though.
Beautiful day overlooking Central Park at Mt Sinai 7 West

Kathleen F. You got the best view on 7 West! Well done! That was my view too, a month ago - Room 108 - but without the snow. Much better than the ICU, right? I'm glad you were able to move finally, and I can tell you that each day brings so much progress! A food tip - the Nepro protein shakes are pretty good and the nurses can get them for you any time, if your appetite starts to come back. Congrats on your progress and enjoy the view!

Janet Garland I had a nice view as well a little less than a month ago. I was in room 101a. The nurses/staff are spectacular there. My favorite was Angela
Kimberly Biddick Wow!!!! What a great trade off for being in the hospital!
Wiliam Height Kathleen F, I'm in 108a--no kidding. Was Duane your nurse? Janet, I agree.

Janet Garland Duane was my nurse for one day while Angela was off. He's also great. I don't know if you had Darren yet but he's awesome as well. They're all fabulous!
Adam Pick Stunning picture. It's almost as good as the heart valve team over there. :)

Jim Jones William - This view brings back vivid memories. We should all write our names on the wall there so we can keep track of prior HVJ residents. The first day I looked out the window I felt utterly detached from the activity in the park. As days went by I found myself reconnecting to the world and engaged in watching the happenings in the park. Heal well today!
Tim Goff So very glad to hear of your positive progress

Paul Fodor As strange as it sounds I miss the team from 7 West - I spent 5 days in that hospital and have nothing but good things to say. I am bragging about it too much.

Selma Kaplan I think I had the same room, back in May of 2012. The view was considerably less white, however. I agree with Jim -- it seems like so many of us looked out over Central Park. Can you imagine a reunion of all of Dr. Adams' patients? That would be some fine party! Is Tree still nursing in ICU? I remember him asking me if there's anything I needed (aside from those delicious ice chips). Smartass that I was, I said, "Oh, just a large coffee and a view of the park." Well, he scored me the view of the park, anyway. Happy healing.
Henry Boehringer You were in the high rent district, my view was lacking.

Ole Bore Wow, William. you sure you had a sternotomy? wish my scar would look as well, even though mine is also hidden behind the chest hair. I also noticed that my chest hair came in longer. Not a problem, but fun to notice (as if I needed it). My wife tells me soon I'll need to use conditioner... :)
Barry Van Gemert Duane, maybe we can get the group to chip in and get you a DOUBLE restoration!

Wiliam Height Duane & Barry get used to be shaved all over. I was shaved the morning of operation and the clippings stayed with me which lead to some itch. Ole, I had two valves repaired via mini so the hair hides it well, but I may do a little manscaping (ever do that Duane?) once I can do a push up and get some muscle back.

Terrie Syvertsen Duane- In a weak moment I wrote a pretty stupid post seeing "where" your humor might run with it. You didn't take the bait.
