December 28th will be my 2 year anniversary from open heart and mitral valve repair. Last week I met with my cardiologist and received good news. The repair looks great. Arrhythmia still present but my blood pressure is normally low, 98/67 so taking any medication would make it drop and cause fatigue. Arrhythmia symptoms do not upset me so no need to take anything other than my one baby aspirin a day. The cardiologist couldn't be more pleased. God and the doctors blessed me with a successful surgery and I am doing everything I can to stay healthy. I have lost over 20 pounds and have kept up my daily walking routine. For those of you just beginning this journey, do not worry. You will do fine and be fine. I know this to be true.
