Welcome to my day to day journal of having open heart surgery.

When I started this blog I was not sure if I would need surgery but after many tests and doctors visits I had valve replacement surgery on June 23, 2010. I was born with a congenital heart defect, a bicuspid aortic valve. My blog reads backwards (like all blogs)....not like a story in chronological order...so go all the way to the beginning (here) to read about my history and how this all got started.

Let me know you stopped by......leave me a comment :)

2 weeks post op

I am doing pretty well.  Each day is a little easier.  I have posted a pic of my scar.  I am happy it is low and it is healing very well.  I am sleeping better and able to get out of bed alone....a very big accomplishment.  My pain is under control too.  I am able to go 5 to 8 hours between pills.  I was able to stand in shower and wash my own hair yesterday.  Things are improving.  I am thankful that the hardest parts are behind me and I just need to concentrate on getting back to me.
