John Cook That’s rough, I’m sorry. I caught strep, thought they were going to cancel me, they didn’t, then they did cancel me for someone else’s emergency.

It can be a rollercoaster.

Rose Madura It's really rough when you have to reschedule. I hope you recover soon from the flu.

Michael Chaisty Feel better soon 🙂

Peggy Denham Thank you all, flu gone now after three weeks, It's so good to be rid of that.

Peggy Denham Operation now on 23rd January!

IHello community I'm Peggy. 74yrs and slated for Aortic valve replacement in 3weeks. My surgeon has decided on Tavir, through the groin and I am so nervous and trying to stay positive! I welcome any patient journeys and stories about your recovery. I live in Sydney Australia and love reading your stories.

Cathleen Weed TAVR is amazing and honestly a short 10 years ago this wasn't the option it is now. If you could compare the two - open heart vs TAVR - you'd realize how exceedingly lucky you are

. I've had both and it was night and day. Technology is incredible. You'll do great and with a little rest you'll be back to feeling 20 years younger. A new aortic valve makes you feel like you had a lung transplant. It's an incredible feeling.

Peggy Denham Just what i needed to hear, thank you Cathleen.

Peggy Denham What is the pain like after Tavi Cathleen? I hear the groin can be bad afterwards?

Peggy Denham Well I made it through! Very happy with the outcome. Valve is great and up walking around easily. The only complication is a huge haematona where they went in to the femoral and a tear occurred, so I had to have a stent! A shame that happened or i would be home by now with Luna. Very grateful the valve is working properly abd no AF so far.

Peggy Denham 10 days post aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair, i feel fantastic. So much energy, I feel like a different person! Didn't realise how very little energy I had before Tavi. I can highly recommend this surgery to anyone facing valve replacement. So happy.
