3-19-13
Although I have not had a recent blood test specific for MM, no reason to suspect that remission does not continue. I will see Dr. Abonour on 3-30 when ongoing maintenance will be decided.
Had a port access mitral valve repair on 3-7. Rather than the expected 4-5 day confinement, I was not released until 3-15. The docs monitored my heart rate carefully to determine I did not need a pacemaker. Those who have listened to my heart since say the murmer is no longer.
Recovery is slow, the three inch cut through my upper chest continues to be troublesome. The limitation on my activity is substantial, no heavy lifting, no driving, no vacuuming - Mary Ann has to maintain vigilance 24-7 for at least another 10 days. Frankly, hers is the most difficult task.
I will see my cardiologist on 4-1, then my surgeon on 4-14. More then.
