Christine's Guestbook

Dear Christine, Husband and "Fur Babies"...... Just now read your story and know that you were scheduled to go in today for your surgery so this is sort of a late send off of good wishes and support but please know I mean well and pray for your successful surgery and that you enter into your recovery period shortly thereafter with no surprises.....Also that your diabetes gives you no added issues as well. I wanted to mention that I too have type 2(since 1998) and found that sticking to my regular routine of testing and using the usual medications were not a problem for me and hope that to be true for you. Make sure that you test once back home on a regular basis as once you are home you will be more fatigued for a period of time as your body finds its "balance" and it is easy to overlook being tired while the body regains its strength. Eat healthy and enjoy your first walks and you will be feeling better as you go! Will be thinking of you today and sending out prayers that we hear an update when you are able that all is well. Your fur babies will be your best medicine while healing.......Take care.

Christine, Good luck tomorrow. Praying for peace leading to your surgery, skillful docs who will fix everything and a quick recovery so you can get on living. Take care, Drn

my dear christine i know how you feel read my story i was scared to death before my surgery then after i did not even know it was over very little pain but i stayed on my pain meds for about three weeks i had a bovine tissue valve and a bypass i was out of regular hospital in 5 days and went to a rehab hospital for two weeks because i live alone and then i had visiting nurse and therapist two times a week for fore weeks then i started cardio rehab phase 2 and now one year later i am in cardio rehab phase 3 and will keep it up as long as i can to keep my heart healthy hope and pray every thing goes smooth for you i know you will do fine i look back on it and i think if i had to i could do it again and would not be afraid
