Best wishes x

Wishing you well, ruby. It sounds a much less invasive procedure than a traditional approach to heart valve replacement. Hoping you feel so much better afterwards with much more energy.

You have the collective best wishes of the world's most caring grans enfolding you; everything will be ok, I am sure, Ruby. You will feel better in no time! ??

Sending you best wishes ruby; I have not heard of this operation but it sounds much less invasive - hoping it will make you feel so much better

Ruby, I am glad you will be sorted soon. Keep smiling!

Sending you more good wishes ruby. Keep us up dated, won't you? (((hugs)))

Ruby wishing you all the best
It will be worth it in the end
you are in safe hands.

Just close your eyes & picture yourself and your little dog sitting out out in the garden in the warm sunshine.

Please hold that thought Ruby
Because it will happen!

I've just come in on this and am sending you all my best wishes Ruby you will be up and about in no time at all xxx

All the very best to you Ruby.

The cardiologist I have seen does a lot of TAVI ops. I've just listened to a talk he gave to other medics about TAVI - it's very reassuring.
Hope all goes well.

Sending you best wishes for the op and a speedy recovery.

Good luck to you. Aortic valve replacement by catheter rather than open heart should certainly be less traumatic.
Wishing you all the best

I hope the procedure to help your heart condition gives you lots of relief xxxxx

I do not know about the op you are to have but just sending my best wishes that you are better very soon. X

Bless you Ruby you're going through such a lot. Sending you lots of love and hugs.

Hi all, angiogram went ok apart from the back pain which was really painful even with pain relief. Had a cardiac MI yesterday, same again really, pain in my back for an hour in the tunnel.

Consultants had a meeting this morning, conclusion of which is they are doing a TAVI operation. Has anyone had one of these done?

I have to have a CT scan first so that is being done first now so that they can see where they will be going when they put the valve in.

They have decided to do it this way because there is too much damage to my heart now and a full open heart operation will be too much. There is a lot of pressure in my lungs too.

Even though I knew this was coming at some time, it has still been a shock today. Feel very weepy. Xxx

Hope everything goes well Ruby.

Hope they will manage to make you comfortable for the angio. Hope it shows something which can be easily repaired.

All the best ruby. It doesn't hurt, honestly, and you'll feel a new woman afterwards!

Thinking of you today Rubylady

Good luck today, really hope all goes well.

Good luck today Ruby, I hope all goes well
Here's a sneaky (don't let them see it!)

RUBYLADY keep smiling ( ok grimacing through the back pain)

Good Luck, all the best.
