Good morning/evening where ever you are from, 3 years ago today, 31 May, I had my valve replacement. I was a wild journey leading up to that day, it’s a guessing now if I will need additional surgery in the future, I have an aneurysm growing it’s small for now but it’s there. I met my now husband, he also has his own valve replacements and we tick together but as we face the unknown challenges getting to this day every year is a blessing

been a crazy time, I’ve got a problem with my knee that I’ve just had a MRI for and I see my GP next week for those results but I’m thinking I will be having knee surgery to fix the problems, hopefully they can give something i can take for the pain.

LA Heatley Congratulations on your surgery! I'm having surgery at Cleveland Clinic on August 2, 2022. My surgeon is Dr Douglas Johnston. I have a mitral valve prolapse, 3 coronary fistulae, and a nasty arrhythmia so it's OHS for me. If you have any suggestions that would help make my surgery and recovery less painful and run more smoothly I would appreciate it. As women we can have a few different issues than men to deal with. It's a case of "If I'd known then what I know now" and I hope you will share your wisdom. Also did you use a Posthorax vest or Heart Hugger vest at any time and did they help? Thanks for any help you can give me. Sincerely, Lizbeth

Something i have tried to avoid getting i have ended up with, covid has got a hold of me on wednesday. was worried about how i would go but so far i have managed well, i do worry about how it affects the valve so might have to get an appointment with my cardiologist and have it all checked out.
lucky for me im the only one in the house that has it, my son and partner havent caught it yet, i think its because as soon as i did my test and came up positive i isolated from them and only left my room to get food, water, for the toilet and to shower.
work has been great once i told them, the service lead offered to get anything we need.
i get to leave isolation on wednesday night and go back to work thursday norning

I see my dr this coming week and if my INR hasn’t changed I can go up to monthly appointments instead of every 2 weeks.

Being back at work has been wonderful, I try not to take on to many shifts and have rest days after doing 8 hour days which leave me tired. I now work with high needs clients and I’m enjoying it, learning how to Tend to their needs and what times that feeds and water needs to be given. I love what I do and I’m greatful to be where I am today, thankful to the surgeon that did my operation, the care I was given while in hospital. To those that have upcoming surgeries something I heard all the time it “you got this” and it is so true, may you find the strength to get through the long road ahead and know that the family we have become will be here always Love for me to you
