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!
First I thought that was your middle finger but then realized it was not😉 But give the middle finger to the current situation and you will be kicking butts pretty soon after Mount Sinai does its magic.... Best of luck!!! You got this!
How's your sink faucet at home? Maybe get that replaced while you're in the hospital!
All the best! You are in good hands. God is good!
Wow, you are getting a complete valve make-over!!! Thank God for modern medicine ❤️
I'm right behind you! October 18. Flying home tonight.
Wow.....you will have an all new engine when they are done with your surgery!!

John, yes, you will be in great hands with those two surgeons. Will lift you up in prayer for your successful surgery. God bless you 🙏❤️
Great news John!! You're in wonderful company—Bono had Dr. Adams and Grace Mason had Dr. El-Hamamsy! 🤩❤️🩹🙏🏻
You are in good hands. God bless you on this journey.
Wishing you well John. You are in the best hands.
I went to Sinai too. Awesome surgeons and team! Thinking of you.
