I'm pleased to announce that I'm back home from the hospital after a successful mitral valve repair! They even sent me home with serial numbers for my new, improved parts! This is only the first step on the long road to recovery, but it's a big one.
Rich, that's wonderful news. May your recovery be smooth and progressive!
Glad you are going home. It's got to be encouraging to have the road of healing ahead of you, and the surgery behind you. Sending you positive thoughts for a solid recovery.
Congrats, Rich! I had the mitral valve repair in June, and I have a plastic ring and a couple of Gortex chordae. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger :)
Congratulations Rich! We'll keep our fingers crossed for your continued recovery. Take care of yourself and keep on going forward. Yea, you are home! (big day for us heart patients)
