Hi Jimmy
After reading your post I see you live in Charlotte and used Dr Andrews. I am having ohs on September 16 with Dr. Chan dr. Andrew\'s partner. Was wondering if you can tell me a bit about them. I am new to the area and this all happened so fast.
I don't know much about Dr. Chan but Dr. Andrews was awesome. He worked with me through the entire process. The folks in the cardiac center were great. You will be on the 4th floor and everyone there is awesome. The Nurses really look after you. Your Pre-Op day you will get to meet more of the people and the process. It can be a bit overwhelming so prepare yourself. It's a lot of pretesting and paper work.
The nurses in the ICU are amazing. They attended to my every need and made sure I was comfortable with everything.
Feel free to e-mail at JimmyJohnson26@gmail.com if you have any specific questions you want to ask.
Congratulations on little Ty! Somehow I missed that post. Glad things are going so well for you, and hope you are getting a little more sleep now!

Jimmy,
It is encouraging you are doing so well.
It sure helps other people going in for
surgery or in my case a spouse. My
husband is scheduled for AVR on July 24th.
He is anxious to move forward and put
his surgery behind. I find this site to helpful for anyone preparing for surgery.
P.S. The photos are touching, you have a beautiful family. God bless.

Just read your whole journal, and I\'m very inspired and reassured. Thank you very much. I\'m looking forward to a time where I can be called POST-op, and hopefully my new \"normal\" will be better than my current \"normal\", which would be better than great, because I don\'t feel bad right now except when I do something physically exerting.
Wishing you continued health and smiles.

Great update, way to go Jimmy. I echo Jeff\'s comments. So fast, yet so slow. It still is all so mind boggling for me.
Glad you and the rest of our \"class\" is doing so well. That said, my thoughts continue to be with the families of those that have passed in the last year. I remain humbled by them.
Stay strong!

Keep on Ticking Jimmy!
You surprised me. I cannot believe it\'s been a year. I clearly remember when you went in, and when you started posting after. It really brings it home that in another month, it will be a year for me also!! Wow.
I am thrilled that your experience has been incredibly positive -- those boys need a STRONG role model and now you have the performance upgrades to really make that a reality!!
Go Man Go!!

What\'s up brother!!!!!! Amazing what a difference a year makes. Sometimes I have to remind myself that we had OHS. Then, I come here after not checking in for awhile, and all the emotions come crashing back. Like I read your update, and it feels like it happened yesterday. All seems so real and so current.
Very psyched to hear all the hearts in your family are doing well. Hope your wife is feeling good these days. Wow, 3 boys and another one on the way. Maybe you two should stop trying and just adopt a girl! LOL.
All good with me. Scheduling my 1 year follow-ups, then will post again when I get the results. But, hey, I know I am good. Training for my second marathon (in March) since surgery. Life is good for us all.
Take care my valve brother.
