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!

Dear Vicki, my name is Franco, I'm 49 and I live in Italy. Seven months ago I underwent open haeart surgery for sever mitral valve regurgitation, and my left ventricular ejection fraction was about 40%, too. Furthermore, in 1994 I was diagnosed of malignant melanoma, that was surgically removed. Lucky man, you see! Now I feel pretty well, and try to enjoy every single day like a great gift. You'll see that everything will be fine, and I'll pray for you. Hug and kiss, dear. Franco Raimondi

Vicki-I want to wish you the best of luck tomorrow and add to the many good thoughts here in our community that this is only one more journey you complete in life where your positive attitude and spirit see you thru to a smooth and healthy outcome and recovery period. And yes, you will love your heart pillow in short time and come to grimace as you learn which of the nurses have the best sense of humor as much as the avoidance of the "dredded sneezes"! I read your story and know you are a survivor! Be Well......
