Having surgery on August 29 at NYU Langone to replace my aortic valve, have a septal myectomy to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hopefully repair (not replace) the mitral valve and add an atrial clip. Yikes! Anxiety doesn't begin to describe my state of being right now....

Susan Lynn Susan - Your level of anxiety is very normal. By the 29th, you'll feel oddly calm and ready to get it done. Remember, all you have to do is show up. Your surgeon and team will take care of everything else. It's like a one-minute nap and it's recovery time! We'll be waiting for you!!

Suelynn Hanegraaf Hi Susan, I’ve had my aortic valve replaced twice now - at age 54 and 4+ months ago at age 67. Anxiety is hard to deal with when facing serious surgery on our key organ - our heart. Hopefully you can focus on and be assured that OHS has very successful outcomes. Know also that you are truly amongst friends here at Adam’s wonderful HVS community. Collectively we’ve gone through a lot and survived. Much love & prayers for serenity and grace in the days ahead 💕
