Just wanted to update everyone I had my mitral valve repair surgery on Tuesday and all went well. It's been tough the past couple days but slowly getting better

Great! Day 1 is rough, Day 2 was weak but better, and starting Day 3 I feel like that was a nice upward curve every day.

Today I scheduled my mitral repair surgery at Duke with Dr Glower for 9/4. I'm feeling relieved that I have it set finally but also anxious now that I know it's coming.

Kathy - scheduling surgery certainly creates a rush of mixed emotions. However, by the time 9/4 is here, you'll be ready to move forward and put surgery in the rear view mirror. You're going to be just fine!
