Sarah thank you for sharing your story… Wow our stories are so similar! I am 33, born with bicuspid aortic stenosis. And eventually ascending aorta as well. I had my Ross done back in June ‘22. I am here to answer any questions you may have :)

Sarah Robben Thanks, Andrew! Going into Week 3 of recovery and am amazed at how the body is able to slowly heal itself. I'll be starting cardiac rehab next week which I'm excited yet nervous about. Any tips there?

Andrew Dial Cardiac rehab is going to really help in a big way. Some people brush it off but it’s gonna get a lot of your stamina back, strength, and just ease the heart back into being able to pump a little harder and start varying your BP a little, which is what it needs.

Hi Donna, I’m so happy you said ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). It has been very eye-opening for me being a patient on the other side. I definitely have a greater appreciation and understanding of the difficulties and importance of completing ADLs (dressing, bathing, toileting, hygiene/grooming, etc.) at my prior level of function. Making small gains with each of these ADLs has really kept me going during recovery.

Donna Casaletto Aww you’re so sweet! I just shared your message with my daughter, Nicole and she said thank you so much! She’s in her second year. It’s a part time program which means she’s able to work full time yeah 👏but will have another 2 years before she finishes‼️Nicole did ask if you deliver services in patient or outpatient? Keep up with your little victories👏‼️I’ll be joining you soon 8 days away 😳😬🙈‼️

I work in a skilled nursing facility which is essentially inpatient :) I work with both long-term care residents and short-term rehab patients who have just discharged from the hospital but who are not quite ready or safe to return home yet. I work with patients on ADLs, IADLs, transfers, functional mobility (walking), balance, and strengthening on a daily basis depending on their needs and preferences. It is a very challenging yet rewarding place to work. If Nicole has any interest at all, I would recommend she shadow an OT at a local skilled nursing facility :)
