My Journey so far

[pcannon]

March 18 2020 had a mitral valve replacement. Heart and lung machine damaged the right femoral artery.

4 attempts for stent placement failed and damaged left artery.

Jun 2023 did aortobifemoral bypass

Jul 29 2023 5 weeks later restenosis occurred in both arteries and another surgery.

Jan 29 2024 restenosis occurred in the left artery another surgery.

Now May 2024 restenosis occurring again in the left femoral artery, another surgery scheduled 20 May.

To top it all off I have an incisional hernia on the left side which will have to be dealt with later.

I just wanted to vent, so thank you for letting me tell my story.

The valve is doing well

ouch

The valve is doing well

well, good that it ended on a positive. Venting is an important outlet, underappreciated. I personally take great advantage of colourful language (that some people call swearing) in my descriptions.

Best Wishes

You deserve a good vent. Best wishes for the next surgery.
