Hello everyone! Time for another update from me—it’s been a while. This morning, I had my six-year appointment with my cardiologist. Nothing out of the ordinary. We chatted about my kids and their sports careers. At the end of the visit, it was just, "See you in a year..." He... Read more.
Just went through a bunch of your posts, and wow! Thank you for letting us into your life. Congratulations on all your successful!
awesome! Thxs for the cheerful news~

Keep up the good work! Glad you’re doing well
has anyone mentioned ross procedure to you? (don’t mention it to dr svensson -he’s not a fan. i speak from direct experience on that one). but many others are. just an idea given what you say in your profile.
Way to go Bradley. Don't push yourself too hard! Relax. Sit on the sofa like me (10 yrs after surgery).

Hi! I read this and had to reach out 😊 I had the same issue with my scar(s). It's called hypertrophic scarring. Cortisone injections into the scar tissue work like magic. They hurt (like a bunch of tiny bee stings) but SO worth it! It takes away the puffy, red,... Read more.
Happy Anniversary, Bradley! Good to hear from you! ❤️
Happy Anniversary Bradley 🥳 I struggle with plantar-fasciitis, as well. I have found wearing an Oofos recovery sandal a few hours a day made a big difference for me.
Thanks everyone.. I will check out that sandal... Cathleen, you are likely right about dehydration. I bet that played a key in my PVCs. I will also do some research on the Cortisone injections for the scaring.
