Hello :-)

I see you live in France

I am in the UK so not sure if their system is the same but I do know my Dad was on holiday some years ago and he took unwell , he was in France and he had to have a pacemaker and he could not speak any more highly of the Consultants and Doctors so you are in safe hands

Before I had my op I got everything organised like my house clean so I would not need to do it when I came home , my bag packed , bills paid as much as I could so I knew after all I would have to concentrate on was my recovery

We should not lift our arms above our heads for a while after so anything you use like pans , food etc that maybe high up and you would have to reach then organise them to be somewhere lower

I had a triple Bypass but not the valve and before I went in I just basically did the organising to make life easier :-)

I wish you all the best of luck and hope you will come and let us know how you got on and how your recovery is after to :-) x
