Thanks for sharing! I totally get that!! I’m used to running so my walks around my house feeling like a workout are quite humbling. 😆 I am waiting patiently to get back to normal.

Not the same issue, but I had severe regurgitation with no other heart issues due to bicuspid valve. So congenital. We were able to get the regurgitation to moderate and my surgeon said I could wait if I wanted to, but I was already symptomatic. I couldn’t run anymore or do lots of activity...

I’m 12 days out but am taking it much slower. I still get very tired. My resting heart rate has been low 70’s. I just started home Pt today so slowly getting back my endurance is the goal. I’m glad he’s feeling so good, but yes, try and remind him to be patient. It’s just for a short time...

Wishing you continued progress in your recovery. If you feel you need to call the doctor, please do. I’d rather them say it’s nothing than it be something. Recovery is tough. I had my surgery 12/22, replacement with mechanical valve. Sometimes I get anxious and I just take my BP, check my...

Happy New year! Thankful to see another year begin!

I just had surgery, I’m 48 with a st. Jude. I hear it sometimes. Granted I’m still sleeping upright, but it really isn’t it all what I thought it would be from what People had said. It’s really not bothersome, just there. It’s more comforting than bothersome. Before surgery I had a heck of...

I’ll add your own pillow, some favorite snacks bc unfortunately food is typically not the best and you might not even have an appetite, I wore my slippers jome Bc my feet were still swollen. Also, the best thing I had was a light shawl to put over My gown. It was perfect for walks.

Either way, it’s still nice to be encouraging to each other. Don’t you think?

My surgery was postponed to Thursday!! Haha!! But I’ll take any encouragement I can get. And yes, answered prayer in so many ways even with the complication!! 💜

No this is very rare. I’ve never had issues before but apparently it was due to GERD that I have. I don’t think they’re quite sure either why it happened, but they were prepared for it. They auctioned my lungs and bronchioles right away. The anesthesiologists said they had never seen It Like...

I just had surgery 12/22/22. It was supposed to be 12/19. I went back and all ready to go said bye to my 5 year old (who Wouldn’t be able To come back) and my husband waited. I had a horrible complication with anesthesia and bile was everywhere. I aspirated, threw up. The surgeon aborted...

I am so sorry to hear that. You deserve much better.

Truth about nutrition drinks. I had no appetite and a lot of nausea and the food was awful on top of all of that. I drank the shakes, at least tried to get one down for a whole day, and that did help.

Oh my gosh this is awful. I’m so sorry to hear this. I had fantastic icu nurses but the floor nurses were very disappointing (I started doing more on my own and that just ended up causing me More pain). I did have an amazing surgical team who saw me at least 2 times a day. I’m sure he will...

Tha k you so much for this post! I felt like you completely understood. My doctor is open to adding some meds the Norco which is good. She wants me to try heat or ice to see if that works as week. I can’t believe you suffered through it! When I try to push through I get depressed bc it’s like...

I never argue my faith and no one will ever sway me. But that’s ok friend. You do you! I trust God with all of my heart in the good and in the bad!! 💜

Thank you for sharing!! I’m at about maybe 2 hours total of sleep. Possible 3. Hoping tonight is better. Sleep number bed sounds like heaven!! 😆 i

Oh my goodness that’s what I said! Just give me 4 hours of straight sleep!! 🙏

I understand what you’re saying! I sometimes feel the weird anxious ting ting ting feeling and I just Keep reminding myself it’s normally especially as everything begins to work normally. I’m grateful my heart rate Is in the 70’s but sometimes it still Feel weird. I slept About an hour propped...

yes I do have Norco, but I try not to take much, but if I need it I need it! I am also a bustier woman which doesn’t help. 🫣 I have a lot of nerve pain when I move around so hoping with just a few More days it gets better. Maybe im Just being whiny! 🥴
