James's Guestbook

James Waller  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Over the last few days I've been getting very anxious about this surgery but I have gotten so much positive support from friends, family, and the wonderful people on this forum that I really have calmed down and am starting to look forward to getting this behind me.

Barbara Laurie  James, keep that attitude and, after surgery, always tell your nurses about your pain levels, don't try to muscle through..they want to keep you comfortable! Best Regards and prayers today for a fantastic outcome❤️💕❤️

James Waller  Same to you. I read your journal and see you exercise regularly. I've been a "gym rat" for 50 years (you couldn't tell that by looking at me! ). I think that those who exercise regularly might be more in tune with their bodies than sedentary people and recognize when something isn't right. l knew I had aortic stenosis for a long time but no symptoms. Just from how I felt working out I knew over the last year, especially the last 3 months, that things were worsening quickly. Not looking foward to the procedure but looking forward to getting better if that makes sense.

Eddie Patton  With you, I am a gym rat too. Trust me it will serve you well. Get ready to walk, they preach it and they are right. The more you walk the quicker you will start to feel normal and the quicker you will recover. Being in good shape is a real shortcut to recovery.
