Hey all just a quick update - my surgery was on the 18th and ended up being a complex Mitral Valve Repair. Results ended up turning out great. Took a long time during surgery so recovery has been a little rough but each day has been getting better. Just got discharged this morning and am now resting/relaxing in isolation at my parents house with my mother (a former nurse) caring for me using all recommended distancing methods. Best wishes to everyone going through surgery during these crazy times

Kim Owen Awesome Jarrod your surgery was successful. Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.

Shainy Connors Jarrod... what I have come to realize 6 weeks out from RMVR is the lockdown has been good for my recovery. I don’t think I would have sat this still once I started feeling better. It’s kept my daily activities to basically walking, napping & eating. I feel grateful that I’m healing well.. just listen to your body .. it will tell you if you did too much. Cheers to a speedy recovery!
