I will share more of my experience, but wanted to at least get started today.
I had my mitral valve repaired and am doing really well. The year leading up to the surgery was quite a journey. I had so many emotions. Most of them were fear!! Getting through it was the best feeling, it was now behind me and all I needed to do was heal up.
What a cool website. I'll check in again soon! =)
Helen Yade Welcome! Having my surgery this Friday..Happy to hear your feeling great!

Katie Clark Just take a deep breath, do what the doctors and nurses tell you and let them do what they do best. The fear/nervousness is very normal. Allow yourself to feel any emotion, it's OK! Then, you'll be recovering in no time and will be able to look back at it. The relief will be very soon!
