Today marks 8 days until my surgery. There are lots of thoughts and emotions. My husband and my sons and my Faith and Trust in God sustain me. They have not forgotten me like others have. They are on this journey with me. I’m so very blessed , and I am full of heartfelt gratitude for their presence and love in my life everyday.

Susan Lynn Jennie - you can do this! I hope you receive the same kind, compassionate care that I'm sure you've extended to your patients over the years. The surgery and recovery are easier than you think! You will find out what a huge difference nurses make to recovery when you are on the receiving end. I credit my great experience (as an mv repair patient) as much to the nursing staff as my surgeon.

I read your story and am sorry you have to go through surgery. Like you, I also was in the best shape of my life and an avid runner. I am coming up on a year Mitral Valve Repair. I wish you the best of luck and keep you in my thoughts.

Robert Bach Good luck Jennie! You will be fine. My mitral valve repair was 7/30. I'm 67 years old and feeling pretty good 10 weeks into my recovery. I know I'll continue to improve, based on the stories I read on this website. I, too, stayed very busy leading up to my surgery. I didn't particularly want to think about it. The big day came and went and I was home four days later. Being young and fit, you'll breeze through this. All the best to you and your family.
