Carrie a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY with many many more to come. It appears that I am the OLD guy in this story. I had OHS back
in 1996 (X 4) and a fix up 2004.(x 2). My advise is keep a smile on your face and listen to MUSIC .
I have found and now actual medical people are getting the message. You get a lift in spirit. Try what ever takes you to happy place.
It can be 15 minutes or an hour and 15.. I-Pad, radio, computer, T V.
I find You Tube just fab. Endless great stuff. Just ask for music and you can have Broadway, concerts, BBC-Prom, Kennedy Centers Honors. Old movies . ABBA, endless fun stuff. Enjoy and treat yourself for a time out every once in a while. ENJOY.
RGDS,
DAVID ROSEN (83 IN DECEMBER AND COUNTING)

Subject: Happy Birthday to me
It's my 3year birthday post OHS. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully process what happened. I only know that every day is a new day. I have a purpose to fulfill and it was not time for me to go home. Instead, I had a body makeover. It started with needing gull bladder surgery, which led to the discovery of a huge hole in the bottom of my septic chamber. Some said it was ASD and some said it was AVD. But my Mayo Clinic cardiologist said it was rare and special. By the time I was opened up, I had two arteries tearing. Miracles happen and I only needed a larger tissue than anticipated and stitches to repair the arteries. 9 months later I had a kidney stone attack and had to have surgery to place a stent in my utterer. First night home and I was back in the hospital with a severe infection. I had to go back under because there were still large stones in my kidney blocking the stent. 14 days later, I was stent free and pain free. Needless to say I have a phobia of going to the doctor. I can't end without saying that I found this group just in time. Thank you all for sharing stories, giving advice, and saving my emotional state of mind. We don't have to have the same story about how or why we had OHS, but the emotional connection is a bond I can live with!
God Bless today, tomorrow, and the next day….
