Hi Denise never chatted to anyone on here before but just caught your post/your great sense of humour! Good luck on your BTT I expect you to bring back all the STARS!

Oh and 'you'll smash it'

[Shoshov]

Hi Denise all the very best to you. As mezle says you’ll smash it. Keep your sense of humour. I find it lowers stress levels. See you on the flip side kiddo❤️shiona

Wishing you well, Denise.

By the time you read this, it should all be over. And soon you'll be being encouraged to do the 'corridor shuffle' to get you mobile. Your taste buds will probably be trashed for a while so hospital food will taste no different from anything else. But the good news is the brand new aortic valve. You will have to wait a while to feel the benefits - you have to feel worse before you feel better. But that's a good deal, all things being considered.

Here's wishing you a speedy and largely pain free recovery.

Hi all, This is Brin, Husband of Denise.

Thought I would give you an update.

She went down for surgery at 08:00 this morning, I saw her in intensive care at mid-day, she looked well but had not been woken yet, that will happen around 4pm today.

They said the surgery went well.

More when she wakes.

Regards,

Brin
