Hi All 3 Weeks post TAVR and I'm doing well. I feel better but still struggle with stairs. I start rehab on Wednesday and am looking forward to building up my stamina. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

Hello Rachelle. It takes time but you will get better. I am 6 months post surgery and I am back to doing everything I did prior to surgery. Just keep on pushing through.
