Just got my surgery date! October 8th. Going to have my mitral, aortic, pulmonary & possibly tricuspid valves worked on. Did I miss a valve?!? 😂 It's been a journey with endocarditis but I have so many blessings to count. I am definitely one of the lucky ones!! ❤️🙏🏻 #CountYourBlessings

Man, talk about valves. They may need a chain saw. Maybe do a valve job on the car while there. Pray for a successful surgery. You look very healthy.

I've been there, done that. Dr. Adams and his team are the best! If anyone can repair a valve, it's him. I'm coming up on my 3-year anniversary.

John, i still contend you look great for a man awaiting a complete valve job and overhaul. I wish you nothing but the best. You have a great attitude and that is big when heading into heart surgery and after.

Wishing you all the very best on October 8th. My surgery for mitral replacement and tricuspid repair is on October 5th so we will be in recovery together!

The waiting game is in full swing! I met Dr. Adam's from Mount Sinai last week who will be one of my surgeons in my upcoming complex OHS. He explained my situation and will be repairing my mitral valve which was damaged due to a bout of endocarditis. The second... Read more.
