Today is my two year anniversary for when I needed emergency aortic valve replaced and a cardiac bypass I was 57 this took place on Southampton general
. Unfortunly I bleed and went down at two in the morning to br reopen .
It's was scary for my husband and daughter especially as he lost his brother in 2000 with a bleed following cardiac bypass
I'm thankful but I still
Think about how close I came to leaving every one . Will I always have in the back of my mind should I stop
Mentioning it . I am thankful and have a lot to be thankful

That's a great milestone, Kim, congratulations. I think it's absolutely natural to still be coming to terms with such a major event two years on and you should talk about it as much as you like. My own heart stuff coincided with the birth of my daughter (she was delivered early because of my heart) so her birthday is always a bit of a reminder of that difficult time. She'll be turning six soon and it's really only in the last couple of years that I've stopped seeing her birthday as my heart "anniversary" and been able to enjoy it properly. Hopefully your shock/anxiety will ease over time too, but it's understandable to have mixed feelings today. Lots of love x
Thank you for replying it's weird I'm thankful and embarrassed to say that I'm still a little anxious ♥️
I have fleeting negative thoughts like am I living on borrowed time
Iv got a cold the first in years but I think have I endocarditis !' When all I got is a silly cold
But generally I'm good well apart from a bit of cardiac wobble this summer
I got stung and had some angina symptoms but it could been cardiac spasm and I I had angina pain after I vomited but GP thinks is osphagal spasm been referred to rapid heart clinic but waiting over two months lol my consultant wants to see me in his clinic 👍
