About Me

I finally have a surgery date - Dec 18th. there goes Christmas but I figure getting a refurbished heart is the best gift ever. I so appreciate all the tips from people - I've rented a power recliner for sleeping and now have a shower seat - thanks for intel. I'll keep looking through the chats for more advice.
