Our new journey
We are now about the embark on a new jounrey in our life. When Bob was in America for his secondment he came home at Christmas and was seen by a heart surgeon. We were led to believe, that although he had a heart problem we had a lot of time to deal with it. When we got back we saw the specialist, and today saw the surgeon. Without a valve replacement he has less than 2 years to live, so we are going ahead with an op on 2nd August to replace his faulty valve. He has ankoylising spondalytis, which has caused the valve to misfunction. We knew this could happen, but have not been prepared for it to happen at 52. I am not sure how I am feeling at present. Given the job that I do, I only see the cases that go wrong, so it is hard to feel positive. Luckily he is feeling that all will be well after 2nd August

Oh gosh, what a worry for you both. I will be praying that all works out well for you! (((HUGS)))
I work with valve replacement patients in my job. Most do so well, the younger the better. He will feel so much better with his new valve. Worries replaced with relief it is finally over. I will be sending prayers your way and please try not to worry. This will be a corrective thing.
