    Sometimes when I am out there gardening, I tell my brother who passed away in '85 to pass on a message to the 'responsible one' up there. I will be in the gardens for most of the day and will speak to him of you.

    Wish you were here. I would hold you...

    I hope everything goes well for you. My DH had his aortic valve replaced a year ago, and he feels like a new man. He could tell when he woke up in recovery, and could completely oxygenate his blood, like a 20 year old, that things had been bad for a while.
    He went from looking "gray" for about three years prior to having roses in his cheeks again.
    He's 57, and we expect to have a pretty good run at things now.
    Don't be afraid Annette. Miracles happen every day. My thoughts are with you.

    Annette,

    I will pray for a successful surgery, a quick recovery, and renewed strength for you. I am glad to see that you have not let your health keep you from doing the things that you enjoy most. Having something to look forward to, can really help during your recovery period.

    Annette you are in my thoughts and prayers...could you please have someone in your family give us an update after your surgery.

    Sending you hugs via the net...and keep a positive attitude..you have too much gardening left to do, so recover quickly !

    You certainly have my prayers. My Mom was recently diagnosed with heart problems and was told by the surgeon that she needed several procedures. Her cardiologist disagreed and said she's responding well to medication. My sister & I did some research about mitral valve replacement surgeries. Please read the following links and see if anyone in your area that does this procedure. It cuts down on recovery time. There are minimal restrictions after the surgery (you'd still be able to drive & lift more them 10 lbs.)

    I hope all goes well, Annette, and I expect it will. Cardiac surgery has come a long way and is much better than it used to be.

    Sending prayers and hugs your way.

    You're definitely on my prayer list Annette, I've been doing a lot of praying lately, especially to St Jude. Prayer is so powerful, I have been prayed for over the past year and a half, and it amazes me how those prayers have been answered.

    Keep your faith and trust in your God strong and never give in to fear. Just smile, knowing you are in His loving hands. It really worked for me.

    I just read Annettes post and was wondering if anyone knows how she is doing now? So wonderful to see so many of you showing your concern and prayers for her earlier this year.
