I had my op 2 weeks ago today at the outstanding Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital. I’m pleased to say the op was a success and the surgeon was able to repair and not replace which was a relief due to having the more complex Barlow mitral valve. He also repaired my leaking tricuspid valve and did a PFO closure while he was in there.
I’ve been back home just over a week now and doing well so far. I’ve been walking small distances each day with an aim to increase this daily as I gain in strength.
I am aware that complications can occur following surgery, but so very happy to be on the recovery side now. Keeping everything crossed that this will continue until I get my post op check back in Liverpool.
Thank you to all the amazing and dedicated Hospital staff who helped me through this.
