Hello All! It's been just over 3 weeks since my 09-Nov open heart surgery and I feel GREAT. I'm not 100% self-sufficient since my endurance and strength are not back to where it was pre-surgery, but I everyone that sees me comments how surprised they are to see me looking so vibrant, mobile and energetic. Thank you to Mount Sinai and the surgical staff! And continued prayers for a full recovery.
