Hey Chris,

Ive been dealing with this heart issue all my life and Im ready to get it over with. I am scared and I am scared for my kids and girlfriend and her kids. Im glad to see your doing well.

Chris,
I had that chest (rubbing) pain for several months after surgery. It was especially bad when I took a deep breath, sneezed, or yawned. I took lots of Advil along the way. ll things considered, it wasn\'t a bad six effect.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Chris,
Sounds like you are doing great. Don\'t worry about the weeks ahead; just work on now. You may be surprised at how well you feel a couple of weeks from now. The progress is almost exponential; keep doing all your exercises and add on when appropriate; you will be amazed at how good you feel.
Keep up the good work!

Chris:
Do call the cardiologist about that pain in your lower rib cage. I had something like that, and the suggestion he gave me worked fast. We all have little things which \"go wrong\" as we recover. They vary from person to person.
Most of us had to rely on painkillers occasionally for several weeks. Maybe our chest didn\'t hurt, but the backache could be enough to send me up a wall.
I was worried about the percocet, so the doctor, to ease my guild about occasional painkillers, gave me generic Vicodin instead. It\'s a good painkiller but not as strong as percocet. Maybe it\'s crazy, but it made me feel less guilty.
Keep us posted, and feel better soon.

Hello Chris,
Congratulations on your surgery and wishing you a very speedy recovery. I need mitral valve (anterior leaflet) surgery also. I live in Maine, but will be heading out to the Cleveland Clinic Jan. 18 for a consult and will know then exactly when and how.
Since you\'re from NYC I presume you had your surgery done at one of the big NY hospitals? Who was your surgeon? Is there anything you can share about the the event? I\'m pretty frightened.
I am a 64-yr.old woman in otherwise good shape. Again, my best wishes to you for a great recovery and a long and happy life.
