After Heart Valve Repair, Cindy Takes Mosquito For A Horseride!
November 9th, 2009It feels great to receive and share patient success stories from all over the world. That said, I thought you might enjoy reading about Cindy, her horse (Mosquito) and her recovery from heart valve repair surgery. She writes…
Hey Adam,
I wrote you a little while back. As you may recall, I was curious to know how and when you knew you were fully recovered after heart valve surgery. Well… I have good news to share. Today was my first time back on my horse, Mosquito!!!
Cindy Rides Mosquito For The First Time After
Heart Valve Repair For Mitral Valve Prolapse
It was my nine-month anniversary of mitral valve prolapse repair and it was a picture perfect day here in California. My husband snapped this photo of us.
My horse, Mosquito, had not had anyone on his back since last December. So, we are getting our bearings here at home before heading to Montana de Oro State Park for a “real” horseride.
Another milestone in the recovery process! YES!!
Thanks again for your heart valve surgery book, your blog and your help through this journey. I know you were a great benefit to my recovery.
Cindy Tarver
