Jennifer's Guestbook

I remember well the feeling of getting back to my own house in 2020.

It was a marvellous feeling.

That summer 2020 in London starting in April it was super sunny, I sat for 90 minutes everyday roasting my  scars in the sun.



Enjoy every minute Jennifer.

Jennifer, I had the same surgery June 20 this year, bicuspid valve repair, thoracic aneurysm repair w/ graft….i am now 69 years old in November.. I’ve worked out since in my 20’s…a member of the medical field who knew exactly what the surgery entailed… just wanted you to know the first couple of weeks were a little tough/ I tired very easily but it got better soon after… I was walking a mile or two with in a month and progressed quickly to walking an hour a day… my incision was really no big deal unless I coughed, or sneezed.. everything I thought would be bad wasn’t.., contact me if you have questions,, Katherine Jensen

Welcome to recovery Jennifer! I had the same surgery one year ago August 9. I pray for your speedy recovery and healing. If you have any questions along your journey you are in a great place! Give yourself as much time as you need to heal, you will be surprised in 6 weeks. Good luck  

Hi Jennifer ,
Write your family lists of what needs to be done . That way they know exactly what needs to be done and you can stop worrying about home life and concentrate on getting better .
You are doing great . 

Thinking of you, Jennifer.  Almost there and you soon will be in recovery.  You are in good hands, one of the top cardiac hospitals in the nation.  Godspeed.
