Hi Mirna - I live in Rancho Cordova and had mitral valve repair surgery 7 months ago at Mercy General in Sacramento. I know it can be hard to sit back and let others take care of things for you but it will help so much with your recovery if you do not stress or try to do too much. This can be a great family experience - let your children do what they can around the house to help. It is okay for them to take care of mom - as you have taken care of them all these years :) Good luck with your surgery and for a quick recovery. I was able to compete in a 5K walk/run less than 3 months after my surgery - and I am 64 years old! I am sure you will do very well.
