Hi Ed,
I just posted today that I am having MVR surgery 3/2/20 & saw you had yours today
Please when you are healthy enough share with me your experience. Did you have sternum or robotic? I just qualified for robotic. Tonight you are recuperating!
So happy it’s over for you
Looking forward to hearing from you
Big hug,

Jane White I am not Raryel but I did have MVR on 12/18/19. I was very surprised when my diagnosis was severe regurgitation but decided to face the prospect of open heart surgery with as much info as possible. I downloaded a book about open heart surgery and read it cover to cover. I felt strengthened by having knowledge about what to expect. I was concerned about the breathing tube also but it did not bother me at all. I also was uncomfortable but did not have pain. I came home after 5 days and am healing well. I rented a lift recliner and slept in it many nights. It made life easier. Now 6 weeks out, I feel pretty good. The sternum cut is the only area that caused and difficulty. I also found that wearing a compression top helped me feel better. I following the suggestions given the medical carers and am starting cardiac rehad next week. I plan to be hale and hearty by June!

Ed: I had my OHS on August 28, 2019. I was 75 years old at the time of my surgery and was concerned with aging and recovery. My surgery went very well and I was out of the hospital in five days. My recovery had its minor challenges and I could see progress almost daily. At the end of 30 days, I was doing well and two months post op, I was near normal. I pray that your surgery went well and that you have a good recovery. Be strong and rely on God Almighty for strength and comfort.
Adam Pick Love it Michele! Thanks for your sharing your story and your encouraging words for Ed!!!!
