For anyone who may need to hear this, today. Whether you're a heart warrior or a caregiver, there are challenging days before, during, and after valve surgery. Those of us who've walked that path know it well and are proud of you. ❤️ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1D8HeJHMsd/

Susan you gave me a lot of support. it’s almost a year and i remember being on this site about 18 months prior to surgery and i was frozen in fear. i still have not found the words to describe how terrified i was.

It's always a thrill when HVS heart warriors have a chance to meet in person. I had the good fortune of seeing our HVS godmother, Ana - twice - in Palm Desert CA. I decided to take advantage of the new photo gallery feature on the site and am posting... Read more.

I always wondered who the surgeons of choice were for cardiologists who needed valve surgery, Dr. Joel Kahn, also known as 'America's Healthy Heart Doc', chose Dr. Marc Gillinov and the Cleveland Clinic for his robotic mitral valve repair. Speedy recovery, Dr. Kahn! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Df4HgykjN/

Recommendations can be tricky! My brother-in-law also cuts his hair with the flowbee! You might have started that trend, Richard!

I had to Google flowbee! I have cut my Richard's hair for nearly all of our marriage. He says he owes me lots of money.
