We are all thinking of you and praying for a successful surgery and great start into recovery Lisa! Looking forward to hearing from you on the other side of this soon! God bless!! "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."... Read more.
Today is a new day for Lisa! God bless and rise up! All of our prayers are for you, heart sister. Tomorrow, cherry Popsicle was awesome and eating 3 meals in ICU really helped my recovery.
Thinking of your today and praying for you Lisa. I got my valve fixed this Tuesday!
You are an inspiration. Best of luck for a strong and fast recovery.
Thank you Lisa for thinking of me on your surgery day. Please know that I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers during your recovery.

So it is about 5 hours before surgery time. I cannot sleep. So many thoughts. Do I really need to do this? I feel fine. Rarely a symptom. But they say my valve is bad and could cause sudden cardiac death. I certainly do not want that! They say no... Read more.

The waiting is one of the hardest parts. So are emotions. I cried as I was wheeled into the operating room. You can do this. Don't worry too much about sleeping. You can sleep when they are fixing your valve.
Thanks Clare! I am thinking I will be a weepy patient!
You are awesome, heart sister. "Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow Me, and I shall give you rest."
I feel like im there in your position...i'm follow you ...I see my self few weeks for now...with the same thoughts.
I cried on Tuesday when I had to wait for 6 hours once I checked in....but then it's over!

T-9.5 hours. My house is so clean we should be having a party! Maybe a post op pajama party?? Time for last minute paperwork and a refreshing Hibiclens shower. I will smell like my patients!

Lisa, prayers for you my heart friend! You'll do just fine! I had my AVR surgery 8 weeks ago. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Thinking of you and hoping the next few hours bring you peacefulness. Pajama party sounds like fun! Something to look forward to! Besides the new lease on life. Hugs to you!
Thanks Melinda & Lori! I sure hope it is easier than I fear!!
All of our prayers are for you, heart sister. God bless and rise up! Tomorrow will be a new day for you.
Prayers lifted up for you Lisa that you rest peacefully tonight and for your heart team tomorrow. God Bless
Lisa my prayers are with you! Life will be so much better! Onward & Upward!
