Yesterday marked my fourth year since my open heart surgery. This site has been a wonderful resource. I occasionally check in and read about improvements and advancement in this type of surgery and read about the progress of others. It also provides a place to reassure people who have just been diagnosed and are facing surgery. My best to all!

My two year OHS anniversary was several days ago. I often forget that I even had open heart surgery. I hope that provides comfort to those about to have surgery. The worst part was waiting to have surgery and the anxiety leading up to it. Follow the advice of the medical professionals that take care of you. If your hospital offers it, take the cardio rehab! It’s a great structured way to get back into shape. This group a great resource no matter where you are on your journey. All the best!
