Just got back from 5 days at Disney. I was afraid to go. Didn't think I could do it. I had worked my way up to being out and about for five hours without getting wiped out. I had a scooter. I walked and rode. Sat in the shade when... Read more.

Let me know when you do. It seems like this is forever but I know it is not. I just read some reports from people who have had valves for one or two years. I just get focused on one thing and cant see the forest for the trees. God... Read more.

The cardiac rehab will make you more tired right after, so be prepared. But, over time, you'll have more strength and energy and be amazed at how quickly you progress. I'm worried now that I'm paying $50 co-pays again that I will have to cut back or quit. I'm trying... Read more.
