Laura: Your story is very eye opening regarding what may contribute to a heart issue. Thanks for including all that information. My surgery is scheduled for August 28, so I am still in the waiting period. I also understand the exhaustion you’ve experienced. I have the same diagnosis as you and have the same symptoms. I can’t see to keep up with things that need to be done due to exhaustion and fatigue. I hope you are feeling better.

Laura Julius I agree. The weirder thing is I mostly look healthy but get so winded doing simple things. The fatigue can be exhausting emotionally. Thanks for the kind words! I’m hoping to have answers and a course of treatment soon, whether it’s surgery or not.

Michele Ripley Laura: Thank you for your email reply. Hopefully you start feeling better. Cardio rehab has helped me with some of the fatigue and exhaustion but I know one-size does not fit all and your experience could be very different. I encourage you to stay health minded and follow your doctor’s orders. Also, if you post on your journal, you will probably get more responses from more heart warriors. I don’t know if you’ve had an echo cardiogram but it will provide a lot of information for your cardiologist. My surgery is next Wednesday
(8-28-19). Best wishes for your health.

Michele Ripley Laura: I am still learning to navigate and use the tools on this site. We’ve been corresponding with each other on your guest book page. If you will post on your journal, you should get more responses from additional people. Wish you the best in all things.

This note is from Michele Ripley. Laura. I posted for the first time today. We have the same medical diagnosis. My surgery is scheduled for 8/28/19 for open heart surgery. I’ve read through a number of patient postings and other patients are very encouraging with their comments. Best wishes to you. You can leave a comment for me if you want to.

Laura Julius Michele, I don't know if you see my response here or on your own page, so I'll do both. I'm learning my way around the site. I will be thinking of you next week. I'm scheduled for a TEE on the same day as your procedure. I am still in the maybe-valve-surgery stage. I've been here before and weirdly I'm rather calm about it this second time around. Best wishes to you! I look forward to reading about your journey and encouraging you along the way as I can. I'm certainly glad for this community.
