Dearest All, and special regards to Marcia who has been an angel behind me thru all this!
well, as of now, i am 7 days post op sitting in a nice hotel room recovering in Guragoan India!
i had my surgery, port hole, mitral tissue valve replacement on the 20th of May 2011. (was supposed to be repair but on table doc opted for replacement)
i cant say it has been easy. all the way from the start. as you all know, my kids are so small, my daughter just 10months>>>>
i chose to leave them behind as i thought that would be the least disturbing way for them to carry on with their lives....go to school all day, go to their own neighbourhoud park, sleep in their own beds and eat food that they are used to
they have been ok. i skyped with my son from India everyday (except the 3 days that i was out of order in the ICU
, but it certainly helped us all i think being able to talk like that everyday.
post op was ofcourse terrible! as i read somwhere, when you wake up it feels like you hav been hit by a fast speed train. Well, yes its true! that is exactly how it feels. but great support from my incredble husband, the loving voice of my son every day and overall suppport and prayers from family and friends have been great help, and have no doubt helped me recover faster.
i am recovering now. getting in and out of bed is still hell and God bless pain killers.
and Thank god for this new chance at life and advances in medical technology that have led to such cures, and advances in IT tecnhology so that we can all be friends whilst so far apart.
as for sugery and care, i would recommend Dr Niresh Trehan and Medanta the Medicity Guragaon India anyday. my experience hass been great with the care, the hospital the staff and services etc etc, all across great hospital. if you would like to know more about this place feel free to contact me at anytime and i can recommend you names there who can help coordinate care.
my love to all
thank you for being there, it made a big difference
