Hi!

I am new to this website and just wanted to say Hi and Thanks!!! I am 2 months post mvr surgery today. I think recovery was made a little easier for me because of all the information i read on this website. It was because of all your posts i knew what to expect. I made it easier for me to know what was normal and not so normal in recovery. It also made going into surgery a little less stressfull(oh... the happy pills helped too).

ThankYou!!!!
Tara

Hi Tara,

Gus replaced three of my valves 12/04. He just replaced my friends aortic valve on Wed. My friend is doing great. He is coming home Monday. I think the staff at MGH is awesome. I'm glad you found this website, it is so helpful in so many ways!!!!
