Dear Jessica

I was very frightened when my AVR was approaching. Very very scared. But as soon as I walked in to the hospital my fears melted away. The staff were amazing. The surgeons fabulous. Yes it’s a big op, but you won’t know that. The anaesthetic will be substantial, in my case I was out for three days. Then it’s all done. The rehab is lengthy, mine was three months, but every two days I could feel the improvement. Then I had my life back and I felt fabulous.

Please be assured this will be so much better than the average hospital stay. So try to tone down your fears as best you can

Glad you've got your date. The worst part is the waiting but once you are in hospital you are in the safe hands of a wonderful team of people who you must try to remember, perform this operation fairly routinely with a very good success rate. It is worrying but everything will be so well managed for you and I found an amazing sense of calm once I was in hospital. All the best and keep us updated. Xx

Oh wow, lots happening for you! But good news too 🙂 Hope op goes smoothly.

Try and cheer up. Valve-replacement is very low risk, and the hospital time is brief. You will soon be home, and after a few weeks feel very much beter and more cheerful

warm good wishes

Relax! I know this sounds hard, but you really have nothing to be afraid of. You re having a defective mechanical part replaced, just as your car (if you have one) might have, and you should notice the improvement in your health and energy levels quite quickly. Yes, coming round after an operation may not be the best experience but you will grow in strength day by day. As for pain, my surgery really was painless and I think that anaesthesia and pain control have probably become even better than when my valve was replaced. May God be with you and hold your hand geniwhrn you need reassurance.
