One year echo and meeting with my cardiologist. Great! Both the aortic valve and mitral valve are nearly normal, the improvement in my heart function and size are great. So happy, so relieved. I wish you all the good news I got today on your 1 year anniversaries.

My friend gave me this stone she found in the desert. She left it at my doorstep with a Happy Heart day card. Wanted to share it with all my heart valve friends.

Happy Anniversary! I am looking forward to my one year anniversary. Today is my 7 week post and I do feel better than last week. So I think I am moving forward, although I don't feel like going to work, not even part time.
