Open Heart Surgery Feb 12 2019

It began Feb 12 2019  7 am

I was as calm as going to have my teeth cleaned  ~~That is GOD giving peace

around  1 PM I was walking up with the vent (gagging) the nurse asked
if I wanted my family to come back or wait to the vent was out i motioned wait
until the vent was out I didn't want my husband to be scared to see me with the vent.

The doctor told them it took less time( approximately 4.5 hours)    than they had thought and everything
went well ~~Praise God~~

I am a avid walker and I walked three miles morning and evening most day , when they told me on day 2 that I had to walk 250 feet my thoughts were no big deal , boy oh was I in for a shock
I had to use a walked and the pain was almost unbearable in my chest .  I will have to say that 250 feet whipped this girls but !
  I only had pain medicine the first and second day my doctor said you are one strong woman and I would say no one better mess with you.  that is GOD holding me . 
Looking back over the past few months I know that GOD has carried me most day , gave me the strength I needed for each day, I feel so blessed that he loves me so

I give GOD all Prasie and glory and honor for his healing touch,

My Road to Valve replacement

In September 2018 I found out from a echo I had,
that I needed to have a heart cath right away due to my aortic valve
my cardiologist has been watching for about 5 or 6 years.

I had the heart cath I watched the multi tvs that my
doctor was watching as he performed the heart cath
(not painful at all)

I was then sent back to the recovery area for several hours
I was told that I would be referred to a  Valve Specialist
a International Cardiologist
A few weeks later I saw the Specialist he  did
more test , a stress test( I walked this did good so I thought.)
he then did the TEE which you are put to sleep to
look closer at the valve  all test revealed my aortic valve was severe and my
heart showed under stress

I  had been praying and asking GOD for conformation that this would go well
GOD used this man that did the workup for me before the TEE , we chit chatted as
he did all the paper work , he told me he was not scheduled to come in at 530 am
but was asked ( GOD knew he could us this man who was a christian )
he went on to tell me several things that conformed  what I had been praying for
even down to the Surgeon.

GOD will give you confirmation just ask him.

I Praise God
