Hi Sara! It's been a while since I've been regularly posting on the heart valve blog here. Hope all is well with you and your family. How are you doing in your OHS recovery Sara? Please know that the Lord Jesus is continually holding on to you, walking with you... Read more.

Hi Jeremiah! So nice to hear from you. I am doing great, thanks so much! Sometimes a bit challenging going uphill on walks, and now and then stairs (which was the norm before surgery so no real change). Other than that no complaints, feel incredibly blessed and sometimes the nightmare... Read more.

Glad to hear you are doing well Sara! Me, I'm coming along. Recovery started slow but I'm progressing at a good pace now and I'm thankful to God for that. I did post a 24-week update on my journal the other day. Feel free to take a look at it.... Read more.

Hi Jeremiah! Thank you so much for reaching out. I am doing very well, thank you! I seemed to have pulled a muscle on the right side of my chest (most likely getting in/out of bed incorrectly and/ or reaching/twisting etc - very painful but using heating pad every day.... Read more.

Hi Sara! Glad you're doing well. Sorry about the pulled muscle though. I've had some of those aches and pains along the way in my recovery journey as well. This too shall pass, right? Glad to know you're driving again. That's good. I know it feels like freedom when you... Read more.
Wow, Sara!! Almost 7 weeks for you!! And 8 for you Jeremiah! I am 7 weeks today and most of my misery comes from not being as far along as I think I should be....or as most of you other heart warriors. I'm trying to take my doctor's advice that... Read more.
Hi all! I am 6 weeks this Friday. We are all within a couple weeks of each other. I am too anxious to drive Debbie, but feeling a little apprehension with the flexibility in my neck isn't what it was. I am now doing rehab--treadmill and stationary bike. It is... Read more.
Greetings Jeremiah, Debbie and Jill - apologies, but I am just now reading your posts!! I usually read and respond via my cell phone, and for some reason your messages didn't "register" that they were even there. I am now on my laptop....let there be light! Anyway, yes we are... Read more.

How are you doing, Sara? Praying you are recovering, resting and starting to feel better over all.

Hi Louanna, Aren't you sweet to check in! I am doing very well, thank you. Been home a week, and it was slow-go mainly due to back pain. I had a visit to the ER for some chest pains that really scared me but turned out fine. Have had issues... Read more.
Sara, yes I am on Warfarin. My understanding is that it's pretty standard treatment post OHS even for valve repair, but for short term, not forever. It keeps the blood thin and prevents clots. I was started on it after surgery and my surgeon sent me home on it for... Read more.
