After surgery…

[preciosa1974]

I just thought this was interesting and y’all would understand. I had surgery 12/22, just found out about issues in November. So, I definitely feel better. It’s so weird how I feel like my body is working more efficiently now. Even though I’m still healing, I have more energy (if that makes sense). One very cool thing…. I have had varicose veins in my left calf for a long time. I’ve always hated them bc they just look gross. Since surgery, they are gone! Apparently, this was from my valve not working well. I made my husband come and see and we were both like what?!? He also says I just have a better color now. Thankful for modern technology to fix these issues!

That's super fantastic!! Glad you feel better now.
We're so blessed with all these technological advancements. Countless lives have been and will be saved by it.

Interesting, I knew that swollen ankles and lower legs was an indicator for valvular dysfunction, by varicose veins is new to me.

Great news

I don’t know if they were actually varicose veins, but that’s exactly what it looked like. Maybe lack of oxygen? I just know they’re gone now!

Great news!! Thanks for sharing that!

Maybe lack of oxygen?

My guess is poor circulation pressures because the pump had a leaky valve

Good to hear of all your benefits. You could begin a career as the poster girl for the heart surgery business. )

Glad you are feeling better. I agree, I am thankful for modern technology.

Happy to hear it’s behind you and your on the mend . Sounds as though it was a great success . Did you have a biological valve or mechanical and if I may ask , what valve .
