Dear Shandra, I see your surgery day is coming up. Best wishes on your journey, and be at peace knowing that God is holding your hand, and guiding that of the surgeon. We, your "heart siblings" are with you! I pray that your experience goes smoothly, that your caregivers are truly caring, and that you come out of this stronger and better than ever. <3

Good luck Shandra, making these decisions aren't easy. I was shocked to find out my surgeon couldn't operate on me. It's a whole new journey this time around. My first surgery (MVR) was in 2001 and it went very well. But I'm told this time I will need a surgeon that specializes in valve replacement with aortic calcification. Have you set a date for your surgery and if so where are you having it done. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

Shandra Boyd Roni--based on my complexity, I was concerned that I could not be operated on too. (I've had cancer with radiation, stroke and afib). I was pleased that both said that they could and that it would be very successful. Ideally I would like to have it the last week in September which would give me enough time to get my house/family/school in order. I am going to have it done at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL. Thank you for your thoughts and your prayers.
