Rita's Profile

Had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I had seen a cardiologist for 4 years and was monitored very closely and in June it became apparent I would need the surgery. The surgeon, the staff and the hospital was outstanding. Two day after being released went to ER with Afib. On medication now and am doing well physically but emotionally can't seem to get back where I was. The surgery took a lot out of me physically and emotionally.
