Flooded basement

Last Friday during a huge rainstorm, The basement flooded.  This is eht home for Beth and Charlie, and much storage.  Everything was ruined.  Service pro came and spent two days drying up water.  Now most of the ruined stuff is out in the garage.  They took away the carpet covering and B<C and Sara hauled wet stuff to the garage.  It is a big mess and we are all unhappy that they have lost their nice home. 

Total eclipse 2024

 Tom and I watched the eclipse from the beginning to end.  It was very nearly total.  Two deer wandered out into the yard.  I couldn't get a picture.

 ON Tuesday of this week I had myTranscatherter valve replacement in my heart.Today, Sunday, I played organ preludes at church and the piano for song service.  I feel great.  I had four heart surgeons and numerous other medical people in surgery.  All went well for the wire to be inserted and the balloon to place the new metal valve.  Modern medicine is fantastic.  My surgeons were wonderful.  Dr. Gimmini was  my main surgeron.  A native of India, he is my favorite.  Though all the others were great and I was well taken care of and God was in control.  Many prayers were offered as well.  ON Tuesday of this week I had myTranscatherter valve replacement in my heart.Today, Sunday, I played organ preludes at church and the piano for song service.  I feel great.  I had four heart surgeons and numerous other medical people in surgery.  All went well for the wire to be inserted and the balloon to place the new metal valve.  Modern medicine is fantastic.  My surgeons were wonderful.  Dr. Gimmini was  my main surgeron.  A native of India, he is my favorite.  Though all the others were great and I was well taken care of and God was in control.  Many prayers were offered as well.

Countdown

 Yes, the days are racing along and I will have the TAVR surgery on Tuesday, the 26th of March.  Needless to say it is snowing up a storm and this does nothing to help my spirits.

I do have a few blooms in the sunroom and promises of lots of orchid cactus for the coming weeks.  ONly one of my plants is choosing to bloom.  I suppose I prunned the others back too severely.  

Oh well, we will see if we are able to have church tomorrow.  that will be something to do .

 

TAVR

 I have written about my Arotic stenosis and have now had the CAT scan and follow up tests and have the TAVR scheduled.  This is transcatheter Aortic Valve replacement.  I will have three surgeons performing the surgery and have confidence they are the best.  My shortness of breath seems to be getting much worse and I will be happy to get this valve replaced.  

Mary's Heart

Thursday I started the first of my tests for the procedures to unblock my aorta Stenosis.'

I had a CT scan and it was very uncomfortable with the dye.  I actually screamed when they started the dye it burned so much.
