Great news and a real boost for you. Remembering the lack of coordination during rehab warmup I think it could benefit many. Might check it out next year.

Couldn't wait to play again, a lot of patience was called for while I was on the sidelines but it's great to think the operation is done and I'm getting back to normality. Keep pushing Ticktock ❤

Thanks Chrissy, my surgeon told me before the operation that if I was positive I would heal quicker. I kept that advice in my head. That is the key ❤

I'm into my 5th week post AVR op now and you're so right. You have to be positive and no looking back. I'm up to walking 30/40 mins 3 times a day. My target is getting back on my bike 💙
