Richard's Story

About Me (In My Own Words)

I had the VAR surgery and now I have a new mechanical valve with me. I came home on the 7th day after surgery. There are up and downs in the beginning of recovery. My heart beat goes up to 118 today and I hope it will ease at 90-100.
Anyway, it is a long way to go. I hope that I can learn and contribute in this community.
