Hi Kali , You are doing really well . I know you ‘ll be wanting to get home but it ‘s best to get the infection treated before you go home . I was in hospital four weeks before I had my surgery , transferred to a city hospital and was there for a week after the surgery . It was during covid times and I wasn't allowed any visitors or to leave the ward . Once you can have a shower and when you have some fresh air and head home it will feel really good . Try and get as strong as you can , go for little walks if you are well enough . Make sure that you are drinking enough fluids and eating a balanced diet with protein .

Kali I Thanks so much!!! This website and your story have been extremely helpful in learning and accepting the whole thing. You are truly doing remarkable work!! Like Diana has asked recently, Im also concerned about waking up in the Icu/with a breathing tube, and about the recovery length and process. Reading the comments on her profile has put my mind at ease.
I have additional concerns about things like calcification, a term i heard only once? Is that a common issue? And i was wondering about the audible noise from the mechanical valve, i wear ear plugs often and i wonder if thats going to be affected. ... Read more
