Deb Yednak Welcome Grace - sending a hug! My surgery was a little over 3 months ago, and it is a lonely place to be sometimes as no one gets it unless they have been through it. You are among friends here. Congrats on 10 years!! Something to be thankful for.

Nicoletta Cavriani I had my surgery in June 2019, mitral valve repair, and I know exactly how you feel. Ok most of the time but a life changing experience that most people do not understand. A community like this can be very supportive and a safe space to share our emotions

Lilly Black I hear you, Grace! Although I don't announce my surgeries, but when I do speak about them, people typically open up and they will share information about their health issues as well. So for me, it's an ice breaking moment. Everyone has something to talk about when it comes to their own experiences. The fact that I survived 2 heart surgeries says a lot about courage.... something I didn't think I had.
