officially "over the mountain"

[river-wear]

Hopefully I am DONE with this heart stuff, but we all know there are no promises and no guarantees. However, today I had my 4-month post-op checkup and everything is going as well as can be hoped. Even though my surgeon shoots for a little stenosis during the repair, it apparently worked itself out as the valve settled in. My LV size is normal, EF back to normal (57%), no stenosis and trace regurgitation. Better than new. No restrictions.

I don't have to go back for a year.

Glad to read your news is good, Michele. It will bolster the spirits of the next new member who comes through asking questions about an AV repair.

Great news! Isn't the view beautiful over here on the other side of that mountain? Wishing you continued smooth sailing (pardon the mixed metaphors)...:Face-Cool:
