Search for heart hospitals that specialize in heart valve treatment.
Keep on ticking!
I was at the hospital for 10 days, not counting the day before and the day of the surgery (Sept. 28, 2016). l went straight to my room from the Surgical Intensive Care Unit; I had no pain whatsoever and thought everything was going well and that I would be out in a few days. Then, I found out about the pacemaker (implanted the day before I left the hospital). The temporary pacemaker (bulky and heavy) went haywire (pun intended) and I fainted in the bathroom. Like you, the unexpected nature of getting a pacemaker was hard to take (still to this day). I even joined the Pacemaker Club, thinking people’s stories would make me better accept the pacemaker…it hasn’t worked! I had lung surgery (removal of a rare non-cancerous fibrous tumour) nine months to the day after heart surgery and the combination of the two has been a hard pill to swallow. I used to be the type with the glass half full, but it has been half empty for quite some time. I’m hoping to fill it up again soon!
Thanks for sharing. Aurevoir et bonne chance…
Paris must be so beautiful at this time of year. I was there twice, the last time was in 2000 (my brother lived there for 14 years). Yes, a glass ¾ full would be nice! Bye for now.
