About Me

I had minimally invasive Valve repair surgery, they go in from the right breast instead of cutting open the sternum. I am recovering 3 1/2 weeks now since my surgery. I have more energy, less pain than when I first came home, but i still have a lot of pain in my right breast, and finding comfortable clothing is difficult. I can walk about 1 1/2 miles at a time.
