Vicki King I haven't been on here for a while myself. Recovery is going way slower than I expected. I finally started cardiac rehab last week and I'm almost done with occupational therapy. I went back to work for a few hours yesterday. It was harder than I thought it would be. The doctor said I could only work on the days I don't have rehab so that only leaves Tuesdays and Fridays. My vision still bothers me and my right leg is weak from the stroke and sometimes my hip hurts. On the bright side my heart doesn't feel like it's going to beat out of my chest now! And everyone says my color is better and my arm is stronger. Over all things are getting better I just thought I'd be past all this by now. I'm trying to be positive but I'm having a really hard time doing it. Thank you very much for your caring and concern.

I know feeling of asking - did I do right thing. Still am asking. But I know that as soon as comications are over and I am getting strength and life back - I will be so glad. And so will you. You will get through all this and get the good part of the surgery. An active life back.

Hello Vicki,
I too suffered from Hodgkins about 30 years ago (twice), and have now been diagnosed with moderate to sever mitral valve leakage. My ejection fraction is at 35-40 percent. I am to have a TEE done soon to determine next steps. Very nervous about what to do! Good luck in your recovery!

Hi Vicki, today is the 6 month anniversary of my mitral valve repair surgery at Cleveland Clinic and I'm doing really well. You will be feeling better very soon and will be relieved having your valve fixed and the surgery behind you. Good luck and be patient as your body is recovering!
