tina fluhrer I am good Cheryl. ~ I think my brothers surgery was so intense for me that all my hormones shifted and I have not been totally myself lately, .... I think I need to still take it easy and rest up too. Lots of water, rest and good exercise along with good nutrition is my recovery plan. :) It took it out of me toooooooooooooooooo! I think I am feeling the after math the past three weeks. Weird, but that is how stress can work on the body. ~ Rejoicing in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. ~

tina fluhrer Hi Ole ~ he went to rehab a few weeks and he has decided that the gym is going to be the place to get a good work out. The rehab took him off all the monitors and he just told me yesterday, he feels better going to the gym. :) ~ He is doing so well! How about you ole? (you were a big encouragement to us when you posted on your recovery, especially since you were days ahead of us) ~ Joe is also going to go to my naturopathic doctor to discuss the supplements he needs to have a holistic approach to keeping cholesterol, blood pressure and all vitals strong and healthy. I am excited to see what they recommend for this overall strength plan.

Ole Bore Tina - happy to hear that. It would be pretty funny if he moved into the room I vacated upon discharge. I'm doing well. Yesterday my cardiologist lifted my final workout restriction (systolic BP) and this morning in rehab I was allowed to "do my own thing." That meant a good 32 mins running instead of having to do intervals when my BP or HR got too high. Soon enough, I'll get back running outside and I know that my dog will love it.

Quick Update ~ Joey is still doing super ~ super well ~ He is at 4 weeks post op and we are 'amazed' at how great he is doing! We are so thankful. ~ Thankfully time flies and we have moved past the first several weeks. He is full of it and rearing to go full speed ahead...... He does have a lot to get back to but, ~ One more week he says of taking it easy and then he is getting back to half speed till he is ready for full speed! He is doing so well! ~ We have a nice walk planned this week, together, just the three of us. ~ Walking and talking and cherishing our time together. ~ THANK GOD FOR HEART HEALING TECHNOLOGY ~ can I get an amen?

Patricia Garcia Thank-you Tina for the prayer link. Also for thinking of me and keeping me in your prayers. With 3 kids and the youngest 2 I have had little rest today. It was almost like a regular day, except for the antibacterial showers. My surgery was sheduled for 7:15 and was moved to around 11 to 1 PM. My surgeon had an emergancy. He is the Chief of Cardiology and he is very big at heart transplants. I am not in critical condition, but someone is. God bless them and I wish that person. well.

tina fluhrer I would like the 11oclock surgery time,,,,,;) .......if I had a wish......I would love to be a guest, for a week or even just a day, to see the life of a heart surgeon.....the real personal life......they must be profound and utterly uncommon. I would live to have an in depth life conversation with them, on their perspective of life. Thank GOd for these special people. I wish you didn't have to go through this......I am praying for you as I drift off to sleep tonight and will be praying bright and early.

Happy New Year Everyone ~ The past long week or so I have been picking up my routine again. ~ Joey's surgery was 12/15/14 and for two weeks straight all we could do was comfort one another and watch Joe recover from his heart valve surgery. He is three weeks post op this week and he has experienced an amazingly good recovery. Challenging, "Yes" there were a few days that everything was hard. Adjusting to starting over in the stamina department ~ He has a good attitude overall! His amazing wife........... "she is amazing" and has taken care of him so well. Recovery is going by the book. He is progressing more each day. His first appointment with his surgeon is tomorrow ~ "can't wait to hear back about that" ~ Everyone noticed Joey turn a huge corner a day or so ago, it was a few days after weaning off the high powered pain pills to Tylenol. He had a tough day the first day and then the next day was really good again. ~ This past week I have spent the needed time getting back to work and into the routine I carried before his surgery. Between the surgery and 5 boys home from school for two weeks, Christmas and new years........ rest and routine are welcome ~ We are so proud of Joey (and all of you) to walk out this journey. I have always been a person that acknowledges how challenging life can be and I treat everyone with utmost tender love,..... through this I have become even more tender toward life and in many ways a more "simpler" person ~ I don't want or need much ~ I really do know what is important. Thankfully I am a women of faith and I praise God for the many ways he has matured me to this great understanding. ~ on a side note, I sure wish Joey would post for himself, but he is not a social media kinda guy. ~ We are very relieved that Joey is doing so well. ~ I believe all we experience goes through God's hand first and I trust in that alone. This experience was so unknown, and so hard to watch a loved one go through. The word "Roller coaster" will never sound the same again. Thank you all for helping me the way you did ~ Joey is doing well!!!!! :) :) :) Moving forward each day ~ We are enjoying the good news of his reports to us each day. ~ (since I am a family member, I have laid low on posting, but I do jump on and read through the feeds and I pray as I go)
Tammy Pilcher Tina, I'm so glad Joey is doing so well and it's good to hear from you again!

Wanted to update on Joe. He is home his 2nd full day. He is working out the sweet spot with his pain management and is faithful to manage his walking. When his pain meds wear off he feels pain and has a slight fever. He is getting the "time between doses" down now. Is it normal to have a slight fever?

tina fluhrer Thank you Ole ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS. ~ rest easy and keep the daily successes coming! That's what I say. I am going for a walk now with my dog. Being a family member, this past week and half has wiped me out too. I have four boys and getting ready for the holidays was a little harder on me this year. I am tired and only want to lounge on the couch. :) Even non surgery folks have a tough time with motivation. (I do work out very routinely but the past few weeks have got me off my game. ~ I am gonna jump back into my work outs which I love! Mind and body wants to veg though. lol........... I,m off to walk now.....sun is out and the cool air will do me good. ~ Joe said he will walk the rest of his life because he has learned how good it is for him. A plaque at the hospital said, if you do not walk, you are an idiot! Yeah, in the cardiac care unit of the hospital, that's the sign.. lol.............
Bob M I am right out the door now for a beautiful Christmas Day walk ... I'm not an idiot.

Cristen Marzula Merry Christmas Tina! I'm 1 week post-op and also 2 days since being discharged from the Cleveland Clinic. The first 24 hours of pain management were definitely a challenge! I now make sure to take my pain medication every 4 hours as recommended. It's important to follow this through the evening hours to avoid the meds wearing off. I recommend to do a simple Google search on the side effects of each medication. I experienced slight shortness of breath and elevated temperature last night, and sure enough this was an effect of the med (double-checked blood pressure just to be safe). Sending well wishes for Joe's recovery = )

John Noriega Hello Tina my experience was easy. I was given morphine a few times after surgery to help ease the pain. Normally I use Norco afterward. This time I was given Percocet in its place. It worked extremely well. I asked a pharmacist friend of mine what the difference is. He replied that Norco is hydrocodone and is processed by the liver so it takes time to start working. Percocet is oxycotiin and processes into the blood strem faster, thus quicker relief. As for getting off it after surgery. I stopped taking it after 4-5 weeks as pain was more bearable. So have no fear as to using them. Plus, your doctor will definitely keep an eye on it for you. Hope this helps! Onward & Upward!

Hey Tina. Yes, we have options. Tylenol based meds didn't work for me so we went with Ibuprofen based meds for pain and it did the trick znd I could sleep after that. After I moved onto the ward, they went back to tylenol based meds (which I don't know why) but maybe each dept. doesn't talk to the other, who knows. Went back again to ibuprofen based pain killers and life was good again. When I went home they prescribed tylenol based meds again!!! So I went to my doctor and he gave me Indomethacin and it worked really well until I didn't need them anymore. It seems like you'll be on these meds forever, but in a month to six weeks you're on the mend and don't need them at all but maybe occasionally.
In the hospital they treat as if "one size fits all" but I wasn't one of those common sizes and it was rough when we were making the transition over to ibuprofen based meds. Merry Christmas and Best of the Season to you and yours! Bob O.

Cheryl Batzing Tina, They were giving me Tramadol and Norco in the hospital, but only send people home on Tramadol I was told because if the surgeons prescribe Norco too often, are watched tightly. I just got home today and am using Tramadol every 4 hours and supplementing with extra strength Tylenol in the middle there. Nurse said if that does not control my pain, to call the dr. back and they will prescribe the Norco. That really worked well in the hospital for me.

Tammy Pilcher They gave me Percocet in the hospital if I needed it. But, thankfully I didn't need it after the first three days except for one that I took before my 7 hour ride home and one that night. Since then it's just been extra strength Tylenol.

Thank you everyone who helped me get through this past week of his OHS.

I worked for my brother for 17 years. Saw him everyday. And I just had to gain an understanding of what he was going through. To find a site with such loving and caring people who courageously walk this road to surgery and recover is amazing. Blessings to you friend!

Joey is doing well. He spoke with my mom and explains that he feels good! YAY! Next step is the drainage tubes to come off. The plan is home by Sunday or Monday. Either watching the Seahawks play from his cozy hospital room or from his home. Either way, it will be fun for him to watch and he looks forward to the game. I have been copying journal updates and emailing them to my mom because she is not compute savvy. It has been the best to hear each and every update and we are learning what we need to understand the process. So important for the family.

Life is about back to normal................a huge light at the end of the tunnel. ~ We appreciate all your well wishes, prayers and concerns.......... It is a new journey for him for sure. ~ today I managed no tears. Pressure head though a bit. But day 3 has Joe turning a corner after a busy long strenuous and stressfull day for him.

During the harder times of life, when "funny" sneaks in for a good laugh........My mom sits on the lake every morning for her time of solace while rocco gets his run around time.......she explains to me that the winter pelican is back. He starts off shy, flying off his spot, the first Bouie, upon her arrival. Graduating to his wide spread wings while she approaches, but does not fly away. She is now well accepted, as he stands on his perch, and shoots his poop out meters through the air for her enjoyment. ~ yes..... enjoy.

We are the "day before" ~ This site has covered us with a sense of calm. I have never experienced how it feels to have others, who have gone before us, reaching out. And it brings healing and comfort to this moment of anxiousness for Joe and the family. I am in awe of this and it has been much needed. It is a powerful dose of goodness (medicine) for the soul. We are on the side of "just one more day to be on the other side" . It will be a Monday like no other.
Ben Schraegle Tina, best to your brother … you all are in our prayers.
