It was a no brainer for me. I sat down with my surgeon and as I am still very active (just turned 40), that was the decision maker. The downsides with the mechanical valve/blood thinners and active people is too much of a life changer. I take lots of natural anti-inflammatories like ginger, tumeric, garlic to reduce inflammation that can shorten the life of the valve. If you find that you aren't too much of an active person, then the mechanical valve is a better route to go. Any other questions, email me anytime.

I guess the things that have been an issue have been the work around the scar to keep it mobile, the sternocostal joints, the fascia just inferior to the xyphoid process and the thoracic and shoulder complex manifestations with having the shoulder and scapula protracted for such a long time. At 8 weeks now, I still can't bring my arms back past my frontal plane. I've been limited to swedish techs to the pecs, shoulders and abs, muscle energy to the ribs and thoracic spine, gentle fascial release towards the scar. The craniosacral would be pretty cool too.

I have a client have been working with for the last 3 weeks. I have mostly been doing abdominal massage to lengthen the abdomen, light massage and reiki on the chest and ribs. Thai massage to allow the hips to fall open on their own. Lots of cranial sacral.

What to look forward to: I just had a four hour nap in my own bed with a nice bedside electric fan and singing birds outside. And the food at home is sooooooo much better.
