Betsy I must say I'm happy to hear that you've made up your mind to do the surgery. I placed my trust in the Almighty GOD when I had repairs done to my mitral valve back in February 2006 which was a success and I'm still much alive to this day September 26 2015. I believe all will be successful so keep your faith and hope alive. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Betsy, right now you are probably recovering from your mitral valve repair. I wish you the best! I had my valve also repaired on 9/11. About 30 hrs later, I was walking in ICU for the first time with the use of a rolling walker. 2 days later I was walking on my own in my regular room. Today 9/25 marks 2 weeks post op Mitral valve repair and walked 3.07 miles without any discomfort. Betsy, you will do well! God Bless you heart sister ❤️

It's plumbing, Betsy! Get a good plumber and you're home and dry! And if you feel any pain in recovery, give 'em hell! A good anaesthetist working with good intensive care nurses should have you laughing all the way home! And once you're home, remember what the French doctors here said to my wife: "We thoroughly recommend a glass of champagne".

I hope everything goes well with your surgery. Your story kind of sounds like mine. I was at my physical in June and my doctor was listening and listening to my heart and I kept thinking hmmm.... I don't think this looks good. I did have a murmur for many years but he usually just mentions it every year and goes on but this year he recommends an echocardiogram. I have had my heart flutter and such before but I also have an extra electrical pathway so I just figured it was that, not two leaky heart valves. Sorry, I ramble on- I hope you have an easy uneventful surgery and recovery!

Betsey Osgood Thanks Autumn, heading to pre-op this morning. Looking forward to getting this fixed!

Autumn Griffin I am sure! I am so tired of being tired. And I am sure my husband is tired of it too.
