After having the Ross procedure last year, (replacing my aortic valve with my own pulmonary valve and getting a donor pulmonary valve) I was able to finish the Vermont City marathon this May. Feeling blessed despite the challenges.

I'm in the middle, with my hard-earned half marathon medal - my third this fall, almost a year since my Ross Procedure. Happy to be back!

Congratulation Kathleen. As a new valve patient, I'm loving all the inspirational posts. Well done on your time too.

Good for you Kathleen! Hard to believe it's been almost a year right? My anniversary is quickly approaching too, trying to decide how to celebrate!

Thankyou Kathleen, good to hear that too! I'm in the 3-4wk stage when feels like you go no where. Nurse told me that's when the real healing starts and so iron levels are depleted.
