Keep on tickin!

I had mitral and aortic valve replacement September 25,1989. It took a while to get back on my feet. However,along with my surgery came a terrible case of depression. I have been taking Fluoxetine since 1993. The answer that was given to me was that my body was reacting to a severe wound-I didn’t know what was wrong with me,but that’s the lowest,sad time that I hope no other patient has to deal with. They told me just prior to surgery that there may be “some” depression but it would eventually go away. Well.here it is 21 years or so later and I’m still plagued by my old “friend”. I guess it happens to some patients and some never have a problem. RLKJR

It is now 8 weeks since my aortic valve replacement, and thanks to reading Adams book the guidance was so useful. I am now well on the way to recovery and I walked into my local city (Plymouth UK) from my home which is 3 miles in under an hour. I was so pleased, as I intend doing the same journey when I return to work. The only thing I still encounter is an achy feeling on my sternum when I awake in the morning but that soon passes once I walk about. Also the ticking can seem loud sometimes, yet other times I hardly notice it.

The important this is not to let the highs and lows get you down, it will all even out eventually when your body is ready – Good luck to all of you who have yet to undertake this wonderfull opportunity to get better – you will!

God Bless
