    Hello everyone;  my spouse is the one who had the surgery mitral valve replacement in April of 2018, and as a care giver, sometimes, I feel like I go through the same things he is going through.  I am here to determine if what he is currently going is part of the healing process.  I am glad to find a forum such as this where individuals are able to share their experiences.  Thank you
