After Heart Surgery, Lee Feels Very Grateful!

By Adam Pick on October 2, 2020

When I see a patient picture like this come across my community newsfeed, I stop what I'm doing.

No joke.

Thanks to Lee's wonderful photo - taken just before she was discharged from the hospital - the corner of my lips turned up and a fantastic smile stretched across my face. Today instantly fills with happiness.

So you know, Lee, who is the mother of 2 teenagers in Florida, just had mitral valve surgery due to mitral regurgitation (a leaky valve).

In her post this morning, Lee writes, "Feeling very grateful today, my list of gratitude is so long."
