To all those in the recovery phase, I am sharing this little graph. I had a rarely complex surgery, with an extremely long recovery. I know this graph well...lol. So give yourself some slack, its not a race...your body needs the time it needs. Dont force it. Trust me, setbacks... Read more.

So true Greg, We all will have our own journeys but some of my inspirations came from the fact that I saw others had managed to come back. In the beginning I really was scared and lost but gradually I managed to try to think forward

I just asked my wife if she thinks it was harder mentally or physically. She said both, but for sure mentally was harder. ...I think she means me..not sure. 😂

Hi gang! I now have a new thing to consider in my life, and I am wondering if anyone else with heart valve problems/surgery has had this too....my right side vertebral artery is mostly plugged up (as I have said, I hate the word stenosis. 😂).. it is a focal... Read more.

Thats some heavy stuff. I would ask about things like blood pressure reducers , not lifting anything heavy. No moose lifting for sure. Curious how they found it. Did you have symptoms ?

I went in with more heart failure, and got a shot of Lasix. Then I was really off balance the next day, and the doctor wanted to do a CT scan. They found the blockage, and then kept me for a MRI the next day. Thankfully no stroke. I am... Read more.

Stay well my friend. You are in my thoughts.

I know you will appreciate a little internal plumbing humor. Inserting a catheter 3 times a day is not just painful but difficult. BUT, i’m getting the hang of it.

Wow Greg that is tough news to hear. Hopefully the medication that they are treating you with helps. I wonder would a person have symptoms. Do they think your balance issues were from the blockage?
1 month ago (September 5, 2026)
The balance thing can be a symptom, but in the end, they think the Lasix caused that. So it was kind of a fluke that they found it. They doubled my Statin and I still take Aspirin. The neurologist says that will smooth the blockage, so nothing breaks off. I... Read more.

Hah! Good play on words. Guess many of us could have some blockage there but you are the lucky one who knows about it. But, fortune may truly be on your side with your doctors now knowing and prescribing the meds you needed to prevent anything breaking off and hopefully... Read more.

Sending you all good thoughts and prayers. Your sense of humor and love is a gift.

Thanks all! I appreciate it! ...on a positive note, the numbers are on my side. Only something like 4 or 5 per 1000 go on to a stroke per year. So the treatment works pretty good. If anyone has better numbers, I am all ears...haha
