One Thumb-Up, A Red Pillow & 9,500 Facebook Likes for John!

By Adam Pick on March 19, 2019

Unbelievable!

I'm talking about you! Yes, you! And, all wonderful patients in our community!

Your support for each other continues to inspire me beyond belief. For example... You may have seen at John's Heart Valve Journal that he just had successful mitral, tricuspid and atrial fibrillation surgery. After being discharged, John posted this smiling photo of his early recovery at his journal.

Many thanks to John for posting this wonderful photo. I also want to thank John for being such an active member of our community. I've really enjoyed following his journey to a healthy heart. And, I've really appreciated his supportive comments to the other patients here at HeartValveSurgery.com.
