I am doing good with my recovery. I am able to do most things on my own. I joined here to get encouragement from people who truly know what I am going through. My surgery was supposed to be 4-5 hours. Somewhere along the way there were complications that caused me to have to be in surgery longer. I was told that I started bleeding around the heart after they were done repairing my valve. I was in critical condition. My surgery was Thursday morning, but I was not waken up until Saturday. This was a very tough time for my family. They told me how scared they were when the doctor came out to talk to them. Me, on the other hand, I was covered by the blood of Jesus and never knew I was in danger. I want to use my second chance to be able to help someone else who may be going through. I am so blessed to be alive.

Wanda Mroz I was in surgery longer than planned but not for critical reasons... My valve just needed extra work to repair. I'm sorry that you had complications, but very happy to hear that you made it and are recovering nicely. God had your back for sure. Best wishes for continued healing!

Christine Oliva Congratulations you made it! Now take care of yourself so you can make difference soon. I'm almost 4 months post AVR and feel I own it not only to myself but to the grace of God to make a positive difference in life. I hope to go back to school and finish up something which I always wanted to do and more service orientated. Wish me luck and you take it easy for a bit. At three weeks it really started to get better, but it really took off this past month. I also had a longer surgery like Wanda because they had problems putting my bovine value in, but nothing as serious as yours. Hang tough girl and take care recovering and God Bless.
