Hi Teri- wishing you well with your surgery! Are you a candidate for robotic mitral valve repair? I had my mitral valve repaired robotically just over 2 years ago at the Cleveland Clinic. I was able to have it done robotically and my surgeon replaced several of my chordae as well (heart strings) with Gore Tex. Please let me know if you have any questions. For me, the hardest part of my experience was the time leading up to my surgery and all of the uncertainties. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Teri Broom First of all thank you for your kind message! It sounds like I'm having the exact same surgery! I was extremely worried until I finished work on Friday and had (I think) an amazing thing happen. I'll copy it and send it. It feels so great to hear from someone who has been through the same surgery!

Teri Broom The best thing just happened to me. I went to Tom Thumb and then was putting the groceries in my car and a lady stopped her car behind me and she said, "God just keeps putting you in my path in the store and then you were parked right beside me, and I just feel like he wants me to tell you that whatever is going on in your life that it's going to be ok." I said,"I don't know you do I?" She said ,"No, but I kept crossing paths with you." I said, "Well, I'm having heart surgery on March 18th, and you are just a blessing to me." She said,"Oh my gosh. Well, do you mind if I pray for you?" And then she gave the most beautiful prayer and said,"It is all done. You're going to be just fine." 🩷🩷🩷

Laura Bickford Hi Teri- Recovery was easier than I anticipated. I had some pain, but on the right side of my chest where the robotic arms went in. The nurses got me up and walking the day after my surgery. You will be weak, but walking will strengthen you. I was so happy I could take a shower on day #2 post-op. I did need to use a walker when in the hospital because I was a bit light headed. My kids thought this was quite funny! Best of luck!
