About Me

I had a very successful TAVR earlier this month. I am taking baby steps adding things back in my daily routine. I'm grateful for this option. My heart catheter was more painful than the TAVR surgery. What I would advise anyone would be to hydrate well the day before so your veins are easy to get into. And fear not it will be over before you know and you'll be able to get back into life faster than you think.
