Dear Sue ,
It always felt like we were the two Europeans seeing the "morning" messages and then as all the other Heart Warriors around the world got up and started their day they would all be there too .
Rita ‘s advice helped me so much , she gave me strength when I needed it , she was always there if she could help someone .
I felt as thought her last message to me was a good bye , she knew that she was very poorly and that she couldn't have any more surgery .
I miss her , as will all the people who knew her and loved her . I hope that you are okay .
I know that Rita had touched your heart too

HI Sue, hope you are doing great! I have been following you but knew you needed some time post surgery. You give me so much hope! I know you are from Toronto and I live outside of Calgary. If you're up to it, you had indicated in your story that you got some additional opinions and also you commented on that when I posted my story. I wondered if your second opinions were from doctors in Canada and the US or just Canada. I am getting a second opinion October 2, 2024 in Calgary and I have been trying to get a second opinion from a doctor in Chicago (was a presenter on Adam's site) but have been finding it hard to get imaging etc from our Canadian medical side into the US side. I gave all hard copies but they want to see actual imaging. I have another CT Scan October 29th so am hoping they send directly to the US for me. I just want to get a couple of other opinions before I make my decision. It makes me so happy to here that you are doing okay! Happy healing to you !

Sue Maize Hi Sher! Thanks for your message—I’m doing well, thank you! Happy to hear that any of my posts may have encouraged you—we certainly benefit from others who’ve “been there”.

I sought opinions from only 2 surgeons in Canada (Toronto and Kitchener) but that was because I was initially wanting to have the Ross procedure. In the end, I didn’t have it because it would have been too dangerous in addition to other surgical procedures I needed. There are many great surgeons here in Canada and, to my knowledge, your provincial health insurance will likely not cover something in the US that is already offered here—ask your cardiologist because healthcare may differ from province to province. Otherwise, out of pocket, that’s a lot of $$$. I hope you get the answers you need for your peace of mind and best possible outcome! ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

Hi Sue,

I just came upon your story. I have been diagnosed last year with a rheumatic heart valve involving my mitral valve.

I have a mitral valve regulation which my cardiologist is following.

Glad to hear that all went well with you.

I live in Napanee, ontario and was wondering which hospital did your surgery. Who was your cardiologist?

Sue Maize Hi Liza, thanks for your note! So glad you found this community—these folks have been indispensable to me on this journey. ❤️‍🩹

My surgery was done at Toronto General by an excellent surgeon named Maral Ouzounian—her whole team was amazing and mine was not an easy one. Entrusting myself to her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. God bless you and please be sure to reach out if you have any questions! ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

Sue Maize Aww Valerie—that’s so kind of you—bless you. 🥰 I am doing well, just had a very busy weekend and I’m still battling fatigue and experiencing what I describe as small heart tremors—sometimes it looks like my chest is actually moving but it may be an optical illusion too, who knows? Recovery is quirky. I haven’t been online as much lately but I love to check in and follow the news feed. How are you doing these days? You always seem to be recovering well, but I sometimes wonder what’s happening with folks between posts. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻 Recovery is not a straight line I’m finding.

Hi Sue I had open heart surgery April 3 @ Mass General and they did an outstanding job!I now use vitamin E oil on it daily and it’s barely noticeable! As far as the surgery they repaired a mitral valve prolapse and a double bypass graft, thankfully my doctor sent me for a second opinion ! Mass General is top shelf!

Hi Sue. WalMart sells a Fruit of the Earth vitamin E skin care cream. It comes in a white plastic 4 ounce jar. Just apply it every day after you take a shower I've been using it for almost a year and my scar is the color of my skin. It's also minimizes development of a keloid.
