Beth, Welcome to our heart family! I had hoped to have my mitral valve repaired too. Unfortunatelymy surgeon felt it was best to replace as it was so bad.
The good news is I am just over 12 months post op. Also have a pig valve. Am doing well. I still sometimes have fuzzy moments.
Each day you will get stronger and stronger. My new valve gave me more energy, no fluttering and my lungs are performing well.
Make sure to rest. I would suggest cardiac rehab. If you want to contact me by email I would love to hear from you. My email is kidsjunction@gmail.com
Sending healthy hugs your way.
Your heart sister from Michigan!
