Wanda Mroz Feeling a little under the weather the last couple of days... might be a sinus infection. I will find out when I go to the PCP this afternoon. Precautionary since I don't want it to rage into something more. Otherwise almost six months out... feeling pretty good most days although still feeling tired by day's end. Small strides everyday. Glad you are doing well!! Hugs

Wanda Mroz No sinus infection just a full blown cold... Runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing... A little coughing. I rarely get colds... Like maybe once every 7 years! I guess my time was up! I survived OHS... I can survive this! Lol
Jean, good luck tomorrow as you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Sending positive thoughts your way for surgery tomorrow and a speedy recovery.

Terrie Syvertsen Hello there Jean. Today is your surgery and I am late in sending you my well wishes but better late than never?! I was up at 2:00a.m. this morning and said prayers for your surgery being one of the many successful and uncomplicated so that you head over to your recovery path shortly! Praying for you and know you are in great hands with Dr. Castro over there in San Francisco(not far from where I live!!!!! I let my puppy "Rylee"
out and stared up at a beautiful scene of the moon surrounded by many
puffy clouds that were shifting and sailing into all directions this fine morning. Yes, tis a beautiful morning to have your lovely heart mended.
Be well Heart Sister and God Bless you and your Team!

Kimberly Biddick We as the patients have the easy job - we just have to go to sleep. It feels like one minute we're awake waiting to go back and the next we're awake again and it's over. I remember I kept wondering when the surgery was going to start - and I was already done!!! Prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery!

Jean, you are in great hands with Dr. Castro. My wife is a heart nurse and we narrowed down our selections to a Stanford doctor and Dr. Castro. Well, he won us over and I felt so much better knowing that he was going to fix my heart. I know it's not east facing surgery, but you have selected absolutely the best. When you see Dr. Castro, please tell him that Sandy and Dave said hello. Here's how I said thanks to Dr. Castro: http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2015/09/22/hiking/
