It seems like it will be a little longer before I find out if I have been accepted to the cardiac rehab program near Mt. Sinai hospital. Has anyone here that did not go to a cardiac rehab do anything on their own? I would like to start walking on the tredmil at home but not sure what would be the appropriate time that I should stay on the tredmil without doing any damage. Any suggestions?

Good evening my fellow valve brothers and sisters! It's been a few weeks since my last journal entry. I have been reading some of your post and for everyone that is having surgery this week, I'm praying for a speedy recovery after your surgery. Things are going well with me. It has been about 2 weeks now that I left my parents house and have been home on my own and I'm doing well. I have two cousins that live in the same building as I do which is awesome because I asked them to keep me in mind whenever they're going out to run errands so that I can go with them and not develop cabin fever. Lol, This winter has been brutal and because of all the snow I have not been able to go out for my daily walks that I was planning on taking with my dog. I sometimes, not often but once in a while might still struggle with the "what ifs" but with prayer I just place all of my anxieties with God and that gets me through. Have a wonderful evening and try to stay warm. Blessings to all! Janet
