I have recently had one lot of surgery, thinking this would help me until the surgeons decided on the next plan but no it didn't go that well. Now I am having surgery again a pulmonary valve replacement on 20th dec. I am scared on so many levels its un real. I am a single parent with two children, and I want Christmas at home.

I’ve had that surgery in August and still recovering. Been told it’s a 6 months recovery period. I’m glad I’ve had the surgery tho. Praying 4 this.

Went though my breastbone. I still get pain from the valve opening up. I’m on pain meds.
