Terry's Posts

Hello - I know it has been a while since I posted and appreciate the notes of concern and encouragement. A little over a week ago, I had a bleeding event that required an ambulance ride to emergency. They got the issue corrected (no additional surgery was required - thank goodness!) during my week in hospital. I am feeling much better and doing my walking (laps around the house) and have been out a few times. I will have my follow-up with the surgeon next week and hoping to get started with cardiac rehab soon. Thanks again! Terry

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am at home and comfortable. Sorry, I haven't been posting and didn't intend to worry anyone but just needed to focus inwardly for a bit. As Deb mentioned, the surgery was a success (we had a couple of hiccups but the docs were on top of things and got it all straightened out quickly). An absolutely fantastic team at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano. I am so grateful for the tremendous surgeons, doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists (physical, respiratory, occupational) and the skill they applied to correcting my heart problems and caring for me through the process. Thank you. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, well wishes, prayers and support over the past couple of months up and through my surgery. I don't think I could have done it without you. From my family who has done so much and continue to do so, to each of you on this site cheering me along every scary step of the way, you-yes-you, will never know how much you lessened the burden. Thank you. I suppose it really does "take a village" and I am glad you are part of mine! :) Thank you again - Terry

Sending out a big thank you to everyone for the kind words, well wishes and wisdom. It is hard to believe that only 2 months ago I found out that I need AVR. Well tomorrow is just right around the corner. I feel fairly calm and ready for this. A special thanks to my cousin Deb who has walked most of this path with me. Words are not enough to express my gratitude. You are my heart angel. Tune in tomorrow, Deb will be posting while I am off the air! All my best to all of you! ♥ Peace ✌️
