Hi Marjorie,
I am so glad you are doing well and were able to go home. It sounds like you are doing great, especially since you went through the complications. All of my best and my prayers to you. I had my bicuspic aortic valve repaired and aneurysm removed and aortic root there replaced. All went very well. Take care!

I had the same diagnosis (repaired Dec 8) Do you know if you are a candidate for the minimally invasive Davinci procedure? Its less invasive and the healing time is much less then traditional operation.

Hi Marjorie,
Thanks for your post in my guestbook. I KNEW you were from Australia - could tell my the way you spelled a certain word. lol. My husband\'s daughter is from Australia and still lives there.
Can you tell me which leaflet of your mitral valve it is? Mine is the anterior leaflet and I am hoping for a repair (at Cleveland Clinic April 21). Why are they replacing yours? Perhaps they do things differently in Australia? Not sure. Ruth

Marjorie,
I had a mitral valve repair at Mass General Hospital in Boston a little over a week ago. I had a median sternotomy and was home four days after surgery. It takes some healing, and time, but everything is going well. If you are healthy, in good shape, and have a positive attitude about recovery, you should be fine. Good luck.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping that the time goes quickly as the last 4 months has just flown for me and it will hopefully all be over soon.

Hi Marjorie,
Am in a similar situation. Good luck with the surgery.
Your publicly funded health care system seems to work way better than here in Canada - I envy you :,)
In Canada it\'s seems to be emergency cases only. -there\'s plenty of equipment and operating rooms, but not enough nurses...
I\'ve been waiting 6 months now, and have no set date for surgery.
