Hello dear fellow heart warriors. Here is an update for those on the waiting room. I am now 3 months post mitral valve repair, done by minimally invasive procedure (not robotic) So far, I have completed 25 rehab sessions without pain. Last week, I played tennis with my 15 yo son, and wasn't that ridiculous. And while I'm writing this, the rest of the family is still on the slopes, but could ski with them a few hours. If I was told in November, I would'nt have believed it. Thanks God and Medicine ! The only thing i'm still worrying about is my high level of irregular heartbeats, both PAC and PVC, because I have to get rid of them to be able to get my job back. I have the feeling they are decreasing these days, so keep my fingers crossed 🤞 I'll meet an electrophysiologist in march to check the opportunity of an ablation procedure. Many thanks again to all the saints on this forum for their invaluable support

Hello everyone ! Today is my first monthvalversary and I wanted to thank you all again for your support and all informations given in those hard times. I am still recovering as good as possible. A little bit tired sometime, probably because I had to increase beta-blockers : my HR is still quite high, around 85, with numerous PVC, which is not as bad as AFib. I don't feel them at all, and live normally. I just hope that with time I'll get back to where I was before the surgery, which is not guaranteed due to the simili-infarctus I got after intervention 🤞 I attend 3 rehab sessions a week, each of one hour, and clearly see the improvement. Good luck to all those in the waiting room, and Merry Christmas to you all !
