It has been four months since my surgery and am feeling pretty good ninety percent of the time.Had a follow up echo last week and the cardiologist declared that everything looks good.I am still going through my cardiac rehab. I have another month to go. My heart beats are in sinus rythm but am also experiencing a missed beat once in a while. My cardiologist tells that me that i have to probably live with it for the rest of my life. They are not bothersome or anything but i can definitely feel them. Dont know that if i can do anything about them. I feel pretty fine and would like to assure everybody who are going through this that there is light at the end of the tunnel and you will be alright.

Goodluck to everybody who are going to go through the surgery in the near future. It will be alright.My prayers are with you.

Overall i am feeling pretty good and started cardiac reahab this week, I cant say that i am 100% there yet because occassionally i experience slight shortness of breath. Is this common or is there anything that i need to be worried about. I also had a maze procedure and my rhythym seems to be normal most of the time with an occassional missed beat or an extra beat. My cardiologist tells me that in time i will be totally in rhythym and i need not worry about it. If anybody is going through the same thing please drop in a word. I would truly appreciate it. My prayers are with everybody who has their surgery scheduled for a speedy recovery.

Tomorrow will be my four week anniversary since my mitral valve replacement. Overall I am doing okay.Visited the mall a couple of times with limited walking. I also had a procedure for correcting AFib. Have been in and out of rhythm constantly which is very frustrating. I dont if I will ever be in sinus rhythm. While in the hospital was in sinus rhythm for most of the time. I hope this will correct itself. If anybody has had any experience with this would appreciate any advice on this. It is really frustrating, but am greatful that the scar is healing and am mostly pain free.

The surgery went off well on Monday AM; took about 3.5 hours. I was disappointed as the valve had to be replaced, because it was rheumatic mitral valve. I never knew I had that fever.
Dr. Cohn replaced my faulty mitral valve with a mechanical one and the tricuspid valve got fixed as well followed by a Maze procedure. He did a tremendous job overall. So far so good as my heart is still in rhythm.
Earlier today the chest wires and the tubes came out.
Other then some serious Nausea, I am doing well.
Will update later.
