Mitral valve regurgitation
New 4th Revised
February 23 2012
It has beena while since writing. I feel so good, no more coughing, walk every day all the scars are healed up, just a little tender. Sure feel that the vavince is the way to go. Good luck too all who need the surgery, it's a piece of cake.
getting better
I am doing real well. Had an infection in my arm from an iv and went to the surgeon today and he said he didn't want to open up, just stay on antibiotics. Otherwise I am pain free, no medicines, and taking my walks with "old faithful" Wayne has been so supportive. Will get back to driving next week. Sure are thankful for the DaVinci method, no big scars and all the holes are healed up.
Healing
Haven't written lately. It's a big job getting back to normal. I haven'used pain medication after the 3rd day in the hospital. The robot marks are almost healed. Went to the doctor today and don't have to return for 3months.
Back home
We just got home. Praise the lord. It's been quite an adventure but successful and I dont have a huge scar down the front of my chest. The places in my side are about healed up, tender but that will go away.
