Just wanted to share with you that last week I celebrated the second anniversary of my robotics mitral valve repair by running the legendary Boston Marathon (26.2 miles)! This was my first marathon since my surgery. I feel fantastic!! I'm 59 years old and running 5 miles almost everyday (I was a marathon runner before the surgery). With Boston I completed the Six Star World Marathon Majors. The other five are New York, Tokyo, Chicago, Berlin and London, which I had run them from 2016 to 2019. I'm planning to continue running marathons for the rest of my life!! 😊

Today 4/19/22 marks the first anniversary of my robotics mitral valve repair. My surgery went well, but I had several complications during the recovery months which sent me back to the ER a couple of times (afib episodes, anaphylaxis caused by a medicine, pleurisy, etc). Today I can say I'm 100% recovered. I'm 58 years old and running 5 miles almost everyday (I was a marathon runner before the surgery). I'm planning to run my next marathon (26.2 miles) in the next few months. This last year has been for me a transformative experience spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. I'm definitely not the same person. I have learned a lot about myself, other people, life priorities and, of course, the human body. 😊
