Eric , you are doing really well . It ‘s a stressful / worrying time but you will be okay .Â
I was admitted as an emergency almost two years ago , I was in a very bad way and I was dying . I hadn’t been able to get any face to face appointments with a g p . It was during the height of covid , no visitors were allowed .I was in hospital for five weeks .
 The type of valve was less important to me , not dying was the most important thing .
 You have some time to prepare and you will get the surgery you need We’re all here if you need someone to listen or a chat .Â
