I just find out I need a mitral valve replacement surgery in about six months. I was born with a mitral valve prolapse and no issues for 66 years. It's time to replace the valve because my left atrium is severe enlarged.
I'm on Medicare with Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Hospital for the surgery. I would like to get more info from the surgeons and successful rate there. (I am not sure I have any choices other than the Kaiser Health Plan?)

With apologies to poets everywhere:

Ode to the Incentive Spirometer

'O Inspirometer, how I love thee!

You expand my lungs to once again breathe freely

... demanding nothing in return beyond a steady exhale.

You reward me with a productive cough, of dislodged mucus

... accomplished with minimal effort.

You ease the pain of coughing

... buffering my exploding exhales like a big fluffy cushion!

'O Inspirometer, I am forever in your debt.

Lisa Silverman Ok hilarious and also for real question: I’m 6 days post op from mitral valve robotic repair and still seem to have a lot of stuff in my chest (though I’m checking out clear and good in X-rays and good o2 levels) but still wake up feeling like a lot of congestion in my chest that’s hard to move around. Any tips or experiences from others?

Marie Myers Drink a lot of fluids to help thin the mucus, and use your incentive spirometer! It will help expand the deflated areas and then your lungs will naturally try to get you to cough the phlegm up. It takes a week or two to feel like you are cleared out.

Lisa Silverman Thanks Marie it’s good to know it takes time so I can be more patient w my body
