Had my surgery!!!

[Lauratx22]

I had my Mitral valve repaired via right heart thoracotomy on 01/30/2012. Still in the ICU. My surgeon Dr. Miguel Gomez said the my valve was very enlarged and that their was nothing wrong with my leaflets. My valve was enlarged due to peripartum cardiomyopathy, after I gave birth to my daughter 19 months ago and it just got worse due to the heart overworking. Gotta go order breakfast!

Congrats! Take some to heal by walking, eating sleeping and then do it again!!!

Thank you! I do feel like I've been hit by a bus! I fought the breathing tubes and hated the chest tubes but I'm home now with 20 pounds of water weight still on.......So glad I am in this community of wonderful people. Thank you for all the support!
