Yeah! I made it a year! A bit of a scare today but it is not related to the valve. For all those having surgery, best wishes and prayers.
Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. Sending best wishes for much health and happiness ahead.
Congratulations, Pam! May you have many more anniversaries 😊✌️

I am three months post TAVR surgery. Recovery has been pretty good. I get bouts of dizziness. They don't last more than 10 seconds or so, but it can be a real pain. Anyone else get these? For all those with surgery scheduled - blessings and prayers? Pam
Hi I had TAVR too in August 2015. I was told specifically to report dizziness, fainting, or shortness of breath. It could also be from new meds. 💛

Have had the stomach flu all weekend. Down for the count. Not the best way to recover.
Ouch, that's tough! Hope you're feeling better.
Thank you Shannon Gray and Ellen Lang. I am feeling better although fatigues. Onward!
