Claire's Photos

Claire French  It’s just gone 6am across the pond here in London & day of op. Had Hobiscrub shower & now wearing my attractive hospital gown In Readiness for going down to theatre at 8am. Had pre meds & awaiting the supposed sense of calm that should follow 👍 Didn’t sleep great due to the various glowing lights in my room & what awaits me today is obviously at the fore.
Hubby pooping in at 7am bless him, he’s such a rock but clearly this is getting to him. Wish I could spare him the stress of today. From a positive perspective, my next post will be on the other side of the Ross procedure!😎 minus my old Lubb Dubb of a stenotic valve and life can begin again. James Martinez thank you for your wonderfully descriptive journal of life immediate post the Ross procedure. Very helpful and learnt a lot about what to expect which helps demystify things. Feeling a combination of relief that the day is finally here, and anxiety about how I will feel post op. But how great are our surgeons & nursing staff - have a wonderful team with me & very thankful for them.
Well guys, I’ll check in with you when I can post ICU. Thanks everyone for your inspirational & informative posts - a great help to those of us yet to join the post surgery club xx

Susan Lynn  You look like you're ready to put this in the history books! Keep smiling! You've got this, Claire! ❤

Mike Roskowinski  Good luck Claire. You will be in recovery quickly and ready to start working your way back to normal. See you on the other side of surgery!
