Thanks to all of you who took the time to read my post and kept me 'rational' until I saw my surgeon yesterday.

The good news for all is that what Al shared with me/us above in his reponse Quote: I've 'heard' that a small amount of 'leakage' is inherent in some valve designs to allow the leaflets to be 'washed' during the diastolic part of the cycle. Unquote is a FACT! THE NEWER VALVES ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW SOME 'LEAKAGE' TO WASH AWAY ANY BLOOD PRECIPITATION, IN CASE OF ANY! Lisa also mentioned this 6 months ago in her post reply when the technician doing the echo told me I had a leak. The interpretor did not mention it then in the report, he explained, was he/she knew where the leak was from, while the technician and/or person who interpreted the last echo may not have been trained to know the difference...they saw a leakage, they reported it!. He showed me, using a similar valve, where the 'leakage' comes from.

He disregarded the measurement differences I was worried about since my heart's wall functioning and ventricular sizes have improved.

As for the fatigue and some SOBs I have been feeling, my heart is still reconditioning itself ... if not improved, to check with an internist!
