Eastern NE KS | The backflow is now severe. Has anyone delt with this?
Physically, I feel fine; symptom free. Doc says without surgery, I'd have serious heart damage or die in about 18 months.
Mine started with a physician's assistant (PA) listening to my heart and hearing a murmur. (That meeting is result of a curious young herd bull and rabies). Two years later I'm scheduled for surgery.
Doc says I'm fixable. He plans to repair the valve and if that's no good, replace it.
My vet says it will be fine. Farm work is positioned OK. Family says get'er done.
Mentally I'm humbled when thinking of folks with worse health news. All indications are 3 months out then I'm fine. Planned repair procedure is robotic assisted and minimally invasive but replacing the valve turns to open heart.
I'm a newbie on here but noticed the friendly and helpful perspective. I have no experience with hospitals and surgery (healthcare yes, serious stuff no). These 2 points make me asks for your thoughts or experiences.
