    A quick update on Panache

    Hello All,

    So many of you have kindly expressed concern and good wishes towards me due to my recent heart problems I thought I would offer an update on my health.

    The mechanical valve is doing great!

    I have seen my cardiologist, heart surgeon, and infectious disease specialist and all three have been very pleased at my progress. I have been told that I need to take it easy and that Scottish Country Dance will need to wait a week or two (and then only strathspeys). I am going for walks several times a day and getting stronger.

    Best of all...

    ...I have been given permission to have a real cup of coffee each morning!


    Thanks for all the good wishes

    Cheers

    Jamie ith:

    Whisky will have to wait until after the antibiotics are over, at least 6 weeks.

    Make sure you take a lot of good probiotics to offset your floral loss from the antibiotics, Jamie. I have had a lot of those meds in recent months and even with intermittent probiotics I developed a case of thrush (no fun), which is now under treatment.

    Glad to hear of your good, steady progress. Cheers

    VERY GOOD ADVICE!

    I learned this the hard way almost 13 years ago with my first valve replacement (OUCH!!!) Star had the probiotics ready for me as soon as I came home from the hospital

    The good advice and good wishes are appreciated

    Cheers

    Excellent, Jamie. Is the valve permanent?
