Hi Steve ,
Welcome

You will get the surgery you need , it is very difficult when you get cancelled / postponed and having to re worry and keep waiting .
My emergency surgery was during very difficulty covid times , but I did eventually get the surgery I needed to keep me alive .
I am very thankful to be alive and to have had the surgery , despite all the ups and downs during that awful time . You will be okay .

Hang in there Steve. The surgeons, techniques and facilities are so advanced these days and you will have a good outcome. I was worried about my mitral valve surgery and it was much easier to get through than I had imagined. You are going to be OK.

Thomas Brusstar I had a mitral repair in 2018. Like yours, mine was the posterior leaflet that was prolapsed. Actually some of my little “chordae” (the strings that hold the valve in place) had ruptured, so my valve was failing badly (they call it “flail” because the leaflets are flailing around in the breeze down there). So mine was worse than most. I went in Tuesday morning and was home for dinner Friday afternoon. You’re right it’s hard to consider it routine, but in a health center that does lots of repairs, it is very low risk. You will be empowered by how quickly you heal.

steve wigmore Hi Klara Thank you for your uplifting post. The research I have been able to do leads me to believe the surgeon that I have been referred to is a top man for this type of work over here.
