Looks great. The scar is so much less important than your surgeon getting best access and able to do great work :)
Phyllis Petersen
Fantastic! I'm glad to hear your healing so well.

the scar was the least of my worries. Maybe it's my age(69). My husband jokingly said one day "oh, you finally have cleavage-no it's just your scar!" We got a good laugh out of that.

Chris Vereb
Well they say "chicks dig scars" I thought why can't guys. Like me the surgeon did a nice job on you. That scar will fade in no time...☺

I'm so sorry for your loss. The suddenness is hard.
Good word about changing our destiny. I know the Lord is blessing us with another portion of life. Though I have a bit of a hard time connecting the dots, because, gratefully I don't have any symptoms but feel healthy.
My heart condition is what brought me back to God. I thank Him every day for my continued presence here on earth. I'm so sorry for your loss :(

Thanks you for your words. I had not thought about the surgery and chance to be healthy again as God's gift to me. Maybe He has a plan
That puts a totally different perspective on it.. thank you. Im sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. It is a blessing to be able to recognize the wonderful time you had the day before.
I am so sorry, life is so precious, so sad. You are right, it certainly helps put our problems in perspective. I think my resistance at first was due to my shock and denial. I had never known anyone who had valve surgery and I eat well, don't drink, don't... Read more.
Life is precious. God is great and he has blessed me tremendously. I think him everyday for it.

God does have a plan and His plan is perfect. God needed that beautiful soul and called him. We all have our day, that's one thing that's certain. But while we're here every day is a miracle. Live it to the fullest . Do good to others. GB you all
Amen
God is great and with us each day. Condolences for you and his family.

Wow! You look great!
This will be you in a few weeks Amy Steele!!!! Be ready to tackle the world!
Tackling the first step is the greatest step in tackling the world! You look beautiful and ready to tackling anything.
I'm looking forward to feeling like I can tackle the world! I also want to be able to work out again!!! Over the past 5 years or so, I'm convinced that regular workouts have kept me healthy. I've looked at it as 'training' for my surgery. Unfortunately, they're becoming more... Read more.
Way to go Priscila. Are you doing cardiac rehab or are you doing it on your own?
By my self Kevin Lee. With my cardiologist approval I went back to the gym for a light walk on the treadmill.
It feels good to have something normal in my life!!!
