Whoo hoo I'm inspired- I'm 5 1/2 months after mitral valve repair. I'm running 3 slow miles ( 13.5 to 15 min miles) 3 times a week. Hope to be at your pace by May!

Way to get it done Joey!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience about cardiac rehab. It is such an important but overlooked component of heart surgery recovery. Did you see this? https://www.tctmd.com/news/cardiac-rehab-tied-fewer-hospitalizations-deaths-after-valve-surgery
