I am very grateful and blessed. Everything continues to go very well. From weeks 2- 4 post surgery, I have been jogging, walking and individual indoor cycling ( spinning ) all the while closely monitoring my heart rate under exertion ! I expect to be back out on the pickleball court in the next week or so. I had my first follow-up (4 - 6 week post op) with my cardiologist. A glowing report, no valve leakage, good BP, my heart has already shrunk back to its normal size and there was a clean echo & EKG. Moving toward my stated goal of reduction / elimination of BP med & Statins. In the process of phasing out metoprolol and back to amlodipine and statin cut in half. I know we are all subject to complications at any time, and we can never take anything for granted, so I continue pray everyday that God continues to monitor & guide my continued recovery ! God Bless all heart warriors on this great website and positive thoughts & prayers to all those coming up on their surgery in Sept and always Be Heart Strong ! Bob
