Hi Susan, Congrats on the first year coming up. Glad everything is now in working order and you are good to go. You sure have had quite a year. Keep doing good and don't forget HVJ.

Hello Susan. I am sorry I didn't get in a Happy Birthday to you on your Birthday on the 22nd. I hope you had a good one and that as your healing continues so do all of those Birthdays. I hope you're making it through your treatments well. Both you and Gabi were two of the people I received support from from the beginning of my own journey here at HVS and I want you to know how instrumental you have been and continue to be with your zest for life, fighting spirit and Faith in helping myself and others face walking on this path. You helped me take on some of that "Attitude" necessary to make it through and when things get a little "sticky" I rarely miss thinking of your photos, the beauty that IS you and keep moving on! Continue to fight the fight and know my heart as well as others is with you gaining strength from all the love and prayers as your continue on! Please keep us posted.

Well, Susan, you certainly have found a way to extend this heart valve journey now, haven't you! Losing weight, another surgery, radiation, I don't know what to say! You inspire me with your attitude. Keep it up, we are all behind you. Also, keep shopping, I believe it is a powerful form of aerobic exercise that you should fully commit to. All the very best to you as you face this head-on and put it behind you. So glad your heart and lungs are well. Keep moving forward.

Susan Smith Thanks JIm, 2014 was the "mother of all years" for me, at least medically. I had my first radiation therapy today and so far so good. How are you doing. Still running and if so how far? Tomorrow is my birthday and I am grateful for at least one more or more... All my best to you and Lise.

I continue to run. Ran two races this month. Both 5Ks. Placed in my age group - 3rd in one race and 2nd in the other. I train 5-6 days a week. You have a great week, my heart buddy.

Susan Smith Linda and Elsie, Bossie and I are really doing okay in spite of everything that has been going on. I have been blessed with family and friends. I am back to work (part time) and I do feel good. I had the 1st radiation treatment today and I have 34 to go. I go see the surgeon for the last surgery next Tuesday and I believe I will be discharged and then no more doctors till March- wow!, Well except the cute radiation oncologist doctor. I guess I am not totally over the hill, cause he is attractive and has a great sense of humor. I do have to remember he is my sons age (53). Hope you are doing well too. Take care

Susan, glad to hear your heart is "ticking" along. Sorry to hear about all the other health issues. I will keep you in my prayers. I celebrated my 1 year anniversary on Oct . 8 and am doing great! Now I am helping my mom with her valve issues. She just had an angiogram and found no blockages. She is now on the list to have the TAVR procedure- replacement of aortic valve without OHS. Keep her in your prayers.

Susan Smith Will Do Carol. Thanks for your prayers too.

Hi Susan was concerned with no post, glad to hear you are on the mend. Hang in there I am 6 months out and finally fully recovered, it's a long road but when you consider the alternative it's not so bad.

Susan Smith That is for sure. My doctor says 6 months is time frame for healing.

Susan: Hope you are doing better and your lung capacity has improved. It's been a while since I've heard anything about you, so I'm a bit concerned. I don't always post on here but I read what different people post and ensure prayers for all that need it. It really is a beautiful blessing to have this group of people to relate to. Much prayer for you! Ruth Valenzuela
