    My double heart valve replacment surgery update

    Glad you’re okay. I had a double valve surgery on June 18th and also got tissue valves for mitral and tricuspid. I did have a stroke the very next day but thank God it was a small one. Still have a numb big toe on left foot and three numb fingers on the left hand. But coming along just fine.
