It’s 5 days after the surgery, and I am amazed at how great I feel. I returned home yesterday, and that made all the difference.

Today, I was angry. I thought that I had grieved after first hearing I needed surgery, but clearly I must’ve skipped this stage.

Today I had a CT scan to get some answers on what type of surgery I will need and when it will occur. August 16th. Less than a month away.

Hearing you need open heart surgery at 22 years old is something you never expect. Take a look at my perspective “Post-Appointment.”
