Hi Alyssa - thinking of you today and sending prayers! I am scheduled for tomorrow. I look forward to hearing all about your recovery and updates :0.

Hi Sara! Thank you for the prayers! I am feeling good two weeks post-op. Still a bit sore and tired but overall, wow, what a difference two weeks makes. How are you feeling?
Great to hear!! Yes me too - what a difference 2 wks makes for sure. A bit sore but very manageable. Yes I am fatigued and love my afternoon naps:-). Keep us posted!!!!❤️
HI again Alyssa - another comment: my left ventricle is also very much enlarged (referred to as "massive") which scares me to death. I too am hopeful that not only it stops growing but perhaps remodels itself and becomes a bit smaller. I am leaving it to God!!
Yes! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the surgery can help our hearts return to normal size! Prayers that God will fully heal our hearts! <3

Thinking of you and sending prayers for a swift and safe surgery and on to recovery.
Thank you so much! I'm a little over two weeks post-op and feeling good! Pain has really subsided at this point. Looking forward to the day I can sleep in a bed again! :)

Hi Alyssa. I'm Sharon. It has been 17 years since my Aortic Valve was replaced. It is scary to go into surgery-I remember the feeling clear as bell. But, a year from now you will be in a new place, 17 years from now you will be telling your story... Read more.
