17 days post op and starting cardiac rehab. Love robotic repair. Anyway, I felt really strong on the bike and the treadmill and well supported. To move and not feel tightness in my chest was such an amazing feeling. 13.1 on October 13. Here’s to half ma

Joey Hardee Wow, Joshua. That's fantastic. I guess mitral repair is a quicker recovery than aortic replacement LOL. They didn't even give me the Cardiac rehab thumbs up til I was a month out. Thankfully, I only want to run a 5K in November. A half in October.....wow! That's awesome. You are doing great!

Joshua Nowack Way to run Joey! And thanks for your note Mike. The min invasive option is pretty clutch. It was more about that than mitral repair. I was in decent shape prior to diagnosis so it should make for a somewhat easier recovery. Everything I do will be in direct supervision of the rehab team and my cardiologist. But goals are helpful.

The journey to get surgery approved to occur at cedars was a long one. To arrive here and know that I’m going to get this taken care of gives me hope. I don’t think anyone really looks forward to the surgery part. Perhaps we all feel a little anxiety.

Rob Sparling Goal #1 accomplished! Knock down every putt on this journey!

Joshua Nowack Amen!!

Lise Bowles A LOT of anxiety Josh! You will do well, I had robotic for severe mitral valve regurgitation coming up on 3 years ago! I’ll be thinking of you and sending prayers your way on the big day. If you want to ask me any questions about the robotic, feel free! I went to Cleveland Clinic Ohio and Cedars Is great too! My bff lives in LA and she’s gone there for cancer treatment and raves about it! Good luck Josh, Lise

Tee Ad Josh, I had mitral, tricuspid, and aortic valves repaired, plus a maze procedure, in January. I was wishing I could have robotic, but my heart was too messed up. Nevertheless, 6 months later I'm enjoying walking, working, and gradually increasing my endurance and strength. Question--how did Heart Month help you get diagnosed? Just coincidentally, I work for a company that promotes Heart Month and I'm so excited to hear from folks who it helps! I found out I had heart problems in a really sad way: my older brother died of cardiac arrest at age 41. His doc said my family better all get tested, and sure enough three out of 5 of us had heart problems. Now I tell people, if you have a murmur, get it checked and be followed by a cardiologist!
