Thank you all so much for your good wishes before my mitral valve surgery , they certainly put me in a positive mindset beforehand 😊

As many people have said the nurses and people caring for you are truly amazing 🤍

I can’t quite believe I’ve done it ,come out the other side and been discharged today, getting home is amazing 😊

I’ve been wondering how you are. Such good news and I’m delighted you’re home. A good reminder to those of us with niggles how far we’ve come. Keep in touch and don’t overdo things! Xx

Thank you so much for your message 😊

The first 4 days they couldn’t really keep me awake so I ended up in intensive care much longer , obviously morphine doesn’t agree with me 😂

Everybody’s journey is different 😊

Knowing how far you have come will be an inspiration for me in the coming week’s 😊

Thank you once again xx

[Dyllibobs]

Fantastic news! So glad to hear that you're ok & home now. Take it easy 🥰 xx

I hope it went well. I had open heart surgery when i was 14 which took me a while to recover from. It says above you are 62 ... take it easy and good luck with the recovery.

Good morning. So pleased to read this and glad all has gone well. I was kept in hospital for four weeks after my valve surgery due to infection but I still promote the positive experience I had with regard to the expertise and care I got during my stay. You sound quite buoyant and positive so carry that forward now you are home recovering. Take it easy with things...even if you feel like you are making good progress you still get days when you wonder what's hit you but that's normal. On the good days still make sure you rest. You are now the same as a lot of us on the forum who can now hopefully alleviate the worries and concerns of those who haven't yet had their ops to perhaps put their minds at ease about it all. Good luck with everything and take care in your recovery. Xx

Glad to hear you will be discharged today. I always think a positive attitude before any operation or tests means you can cope better. Enjoy your recovery at home .

Best wishes speedy recovery x

I have been wondering how you are. Thank you for posting to let us all know. You already sound as though you are doing really well. Wishing you all the best for the future, take care of yourself now, don’t try to rush anything and soon you’ll be fitter than ever. 😁
