Body:
This was something we gals talked about at our lunch. Who has had what medical problems, assidents and surgeries. It sounds kind of morbid, but was actually kind of funny and encouraging to see how well we are all doing. I had open heart surgery a few months ago. It was a three vessel bypass and an aoritic valve replacement. My daughter said, 'Mom, when they cut you open Hagendauz Ice Cream Bars, In and Out cheese burger, and Butterfinger candy bars are going to come pouring out.' I have proven you cannot abuse your body for almost 6 decades and think there will not be severe consequences. Luckily I did not have a heart attack and have been able to prevent any permanent damage to my heart. So, it is cardiac rehab and a very careful diet. I am very grateful to be alive and feeling so great. I am still a little sore from having my sternum sawed in half. It has been a lot of work and a tough way to get motivated to take good care of myself, but I am grateful to have the opportunity. I know Bill Richardon has been through tremendous experiences due to his horrible accident. I heard wind that Mike Elkins had a stent put in his heart. Lets hear about all the others. Hi Gail -- Just wondering how you're coming along. Hope well. Didn't you say you were in mental health or something along those lines? Can't remember for sure? Where did you work and what kinds of patients did you deal with? I think it would be interesting to sit down with other nurses and talk about our experiences and where we worked, etc. Do you know anyone else beside Diane and Peggy Schneider who are/were nurses? Take care -- Carol
