hello I had my operation on Monday , I am currently in high dependency, the surgeon said I should be in a ward but there isn’t room at the mo. I feel a bit better every hour. The staff are amazing 💛 I was glad they managed to repair the valve ❤️‍🩹

hello plum.

Please be assured that the feeling better every hour should become feeling better every day, once you are home and getting rehab etc.

Well it did for me. I followed the rehab advice and it was wonderful when, after about three months, I realized that I had my life back.

Hope the HDU is satisfactory. Or even better than satisfactory.
