Margarita's Journal

Kimberly Eisenhut  Hello,
I have not had my tricuspid repaired yet, but I am moderate to severe at this point and am being told to wait and watch. I have been moderate to severe for the past 6 years. I do feel more and more fatigued, but that could be due to lack of quality sleep. I have a very hard time finding amyone else who has had Tricuspid replaced or repaired and would love to know more about your experience and procedure. I am 59 years old , single mom, and have a 19 year old son who still lives with me. I do worry myself quite a bit about my future. Maybe we can be of support to each other. Please keep me posted and I look forward to getting to know you better

Margarita Casas  Hi Kimberly, I would be glad to be of any support to you. I’m sure it’s hard to wait and I hope that I don’t have to wait too long. I’m also concerned about my a second surgery but I also understand these things happen. Just feeling disappointed that my valve only lasted 4 years. 

Kimberly Eisenhut  Where did you have your surgery? How have you been doing since? I have not had the chance to ever speak to anyone with the same heart valve problem. Please stay in touch, and let me know how you are doing and any updates from your Dr/Surgeon.
