Hi Rita
I have read your story and you have been through so much. You are truly a heart warrior. I had my mitral valve replaced last year due to a bacterial blood infection. I wonder if they ever discovered how you got the infection. The only thing they could come up with for mine was dental cleaning a few weeks before. I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery and will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Rita, thanks for your messages. I hope you are hanging in ok. I hate how much you have been through and keep having to go through. I’m so sorry you got aflutter so far after your surgery. I guess we can get these arrhythmias anytime but I thought they were mostly right after surgery. Are you still on amiodarone? Like you, a cardioversion or ablation would be higher risk on me due to 2 mechanical valves and now a pacemaker. I feel so much worse since starting the drug and am coughing a lot, so now they want to check if my lung function has been affected by it. I already have enough going on in my lungs! Well I was thinking about you and wondering how you are feeling and if you were ever able to get off that nasty drug. Much love to you.

Rita Savelis Kate, I was only on amiadarone a short while and although I dreaded side effects I was okay. The atrial flutter has been put on the back burner now that they are treating the bacteria in my blood and mitral valve. I have 6 weeks of intravenous antbiotics. I had a machine called a pleura vac vacuuming liquid from my pleura for 2 weeks (in intensive care). Tomorrow I will be moved to a rehab cardiac hospital for more antibiotics and physical therapy and diuretics.
I am exhausted and had decided to get off the heart valve site. But had to respond to yr honest hard posts about recovery. Much love

Kate Watson 😢 I’m so sorry and sad to hear how this is going for you. Can a person not get a break?! I’ll be thinking of you much and sending you all the love and healing vibes possible. It’s been so nice reconnecting with you again. I wish so much strength for you. Many hugs and much love. I’m here if you need me 💕

Rita Savelis Ruth, you are an angel.
I wanted to let you know that I have decided to take a break from the heart valve site.
On Monday I will be moved to a rehab hospital (where I was in 2015 after heart surgery) to continue several weeks of IV antibiotics and do physical therapy. Then possibly a week at home with IV antibiotics and visiting nurses. And a scan at some point to see if bacteria remains on my mitral valve.
Much love to you Ruth.

Rita Savelis Hello Ruth. You are so kind. I still don't feel up to describing my experience and it may be some time. I went into hospital to have a pacemaker changed (2nd time) on July 22nd and found myself in ICU for 15 days on IV antibiotics and a pleura vac machine draining my pleura and oxygen and monitors. I have bacteria in my blood (which infectious disease doctors have identified). After several different heart scans and PET scan, medical staff could see bacteria on my mitral valve.(endocarditis). Cardiac surgeons said I could not withstand surgery in my fragile state with irradiated heart. So I am receiving IV antibiotics for 6 wks and we'll see where we are. I was moved out of ICU this week and was able to walk slowly for the first time in weeks. I lost my appetite completely and am hoping it can slowly come back. It's hot in Paris and I've got the blinds down in my room.
That's all I will say now and don't plan on regular updates. Know that I am okay and concentrating on me, with visits from my husband and son.
Much love to you Joy and to Kimberly.
