For me, there is nothing better than patient inspiration.
That said, I am a lucky person. Ever since I had my aortic valve replacement [1] and started this website, my inbox has been overflowing with inspirational thoughts from all different types of people from all over the world.
Recently, I learned of Esther Robinson’s inspirational story. At 88-years old, Esther recently had mitral valve repair due to mitral valve prolapse [2] / leaking heart valve symptoms [3]. Her cardiac surgeon Doctor Peter Birnbaum at Fresno Heart & Surgical Center. MedWatch did a great job documenting Esther’s mitral valve repair (pre- and post-operative) on video [4]. That said, I thought you might like to see her mitral valve repair video.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Even though I don’t personally know Esther her positive nature is contagious.
Keep on tickin’ Esther!
