Hi there !!!
How are you feeling ???? Hope better!
Just wanted you to know that Reidar's daughter had a heart valve replacement back in Dec. '05. She said that she felt tired and had shortness of breath for quite a while. She had the artificial valve inserted ... and she seems to be doing ok so far. She had some rough days (especially in the cold weather in Norway) --- but she's ok. (she also has several other health issues as well) ...

Things here are ok - but hectic and frustrating. We're waiting to hear from Immigration ... letting us know when we need to return to Scandinavia for Reidar's interviews and medical ... But the worst part is trying to find health insurance for him .... not fun !!! Hopefully we'll find some GOOD answers and some information SOON !!!

Glad you're feeling a little better --- and hope you keep improving quickly!

Love,
Sharon

Hi, Doll,

I DO appreciate this Info, having similar problems this days (30 days since the operation) , but am relatively doing o.k. (according to the "good"? Doctors...:))) The pouring rain yesterday also seemed to give me some special aches and pains...Oh, well...

Reidar's daughter clearly was a better candidate (soooo much younger). I hear of many survivors re :Heart valves, it seems to be more common than I knew before. I suppose, we must count our blessings!

Tell me more about Reidar and his family - how many children does he have? And yes, it is most important to be covered by Health Insurance - They just sent me the bill from the Atlanta Hospital (149,00.00) and that does not included the Physicians involved...

Love to hear from you, Lots of Love,
