It’s been awhile since my last update… Just got great news from Dr Roselli here at Cleveland Clinic… he told me all looks great from the David Procedure he did 1 year ago and that I’ve graduated from the surgical program! ✅ 👍🏻 Thanking God and my amazing Rhonda for... Read more.

That’s my surgeon in March! Congratulations Tim! What a great story you have.
Valerie, Dr Roselli is the best and his whole team will take care of you. If you have any specific questions, pls PM me at 937.397.5425. You have about the same wait time I had and know that can be challenging… Rhonda and I will pray for you as you... Read more.
Wow, seems like just a few months ago, we were spurring you on for your heart surgery. You accomplished a lot since then! You are a fighter for sure. Impressed Dr R gave you a check-up one year after surgery. I didn't think most surgeons did that, do they?

Glad all is well. Now comes the recovery. Listen to your body and follow the doctor's instructions. Godspeed!

Thank you Susan, Rose, Tom, Ana, Pamela, Klara, Rhodie, and Thomas for your well wishes. This has been so much easier with all your prayers and support. I got on the exercise bike today... and was proud to do 10 mins/1.75 miles. Did not anticipate adding any additional miles to... Read more.
Good luck Tim, looks like you're off to a great start for your recovery
