Today I am 6 weeks post op, for my second mitral valve repair in 3 years..
Last time I got sick listening to the few people who had an uneventful recovery. I felt terrible right up to the time when I went back to work 3 months after.
Well, this time I I'm happy to report that I am one of the uneventful ones. I had and do have the expected pains and kinks, but I feel great, and nothing bad to report. I have a little high pulse, about 85 to 90 at rest. That seems to have gotten better with time.
Last week I started rehab, and was easily in the 150 range, with not a single issue, other than it making me tired.. I ended up the week with Fridays rehab, and got my pulse up to 163.. I love being monitored while pushing myself, and they kept a close eye on me and said that they intend to push me..
As I was walking on the treadmill, at 4.5 mph, I was thinking that I should be running.. Maybe this week I will throw in a few minutes of running here and there. I hope this good trend continues, as I am itching to get back to work.

I've been at rehab for 2 years and have'nt gotten that far on the treadmill yet. I'm glad that things are going well for you and pray they continue. God Bless!! Keep up the good work and reports.
