Hi Mara. You look great! My mitral valve repair was a month ago and I've had good days and bad days. I tend to do too much on the days I feel good and then have to rest because it knocks my energy down the next couple days. I have found if i need to nap,I do it. I had a good 10 day check up, but had BP tachycardia ups and downs. Am being monitored with that with a ZIO PATCH. Overall I am very healthy, but my heart is still adjusting to the new rhythm is what I think. I'm taking it slower than some folks I've read about, by just listening to my body. I want to be doing more, but also want my heart to heal solidly. I plan to start cardiac rehab in 6-7 weeks post-op, which is a couple weeks away, which I'm a little nervous about. So much healing happens from week to week, so by then I'm sure ill be ready. Your dancing will be so good for you, your key to movement. Your heart will love the dancing! all my best to you in your recovery💖
