It's been 12 weeks now for me. Wish that I went to the Cleveland Clinic rather than Mt Sinia but it's too late now. I wish you continued successful recovery and a long healthy life! Best wishes for your husband and your Boys!

Tonia Earley Thanks Ted!

Hi Tonia Just curious - who is your cardiologist? I flew to Cleveland clinic for a second opinion and met Dr Grimm. I really liked him. We were supposed to meet Dr Petterson too but he had emergency surgery. So he called me the next day. What type is symptoms did you begin to have to encourage you to move the date up. My scheduled at Univ of Penn on June 27 - but still nervous if I am doing this too soon. I really liked Cleveland Clinic - but my insurance company changed and they are no longer in my network. Also I think the distance is too far for me and my family. I found a top surgeon at Penn that I am very comfortable with - and the hospital is rated extremely high too. I'm looking for any advice. Like you - I am very scared. My kids are 21 and 18 - but a moms always a mom. Take care and I'm wishing you well!

Tonia Earley Hi there- My cardiologist is Suma Thomas....she is a sweetie....but I can say any of them are probably really good! That's a bummer about your insurance, but glad you found a good place to have the surgery. I think the important thing is that you have to be comfortable with your doctor whoever it may be.

I have to say my experience was a positive one! The Clinic was great and my team was out of his world!

It was painful in the beginning at least right after, but it was extremely manageable! At the clinic I was on a drop for pain meds and my docs and nurses told me not to be stingy about it. This helped with managing he pain. You are stiff and the incision area hurts but again it's all manageable.

The chest tube was probably the most uncomfortable for me, it didn't hurt, just uncomfortable...once it was out then I felt like a new person!

After the second day I was only taking 650mg of Tylenol for pain, and not that it was painful, just a little achy.

I've been home for almost a week and it's been good so far...but frustrating because I can't do much...just taking a shower is an exhausting task....but I have to take one day at a time!

You will get through it and will feel so much better afterwards!

My kids did amazing and are little caregivers...it's too cute😊

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Tonia, I get weepy every once in a while but particularly when I read these posts. It's from the anthesia (which I apparently can't spell) It does lessen! Hang in there! You are young so you will recover quickly. Just don't overdo it~

Tonia Earley Thanks Mary!

Congratulations for making it to the other side. Some challenges ahead but months from now you will realize you accomplished the major one by getting through the operation and then making it home. God bless you and keep on healing!
