mitral valve regurgitation

I did some research before my surgery, five years ago, and at that time, a mitral valve could only be repaired via front open heart surgery because of its placement in the chest.
I found knee surgery (I had severed ligaments) to be way more painful and debilitating.
Good luck. I wish you the best.

Thank you for that! I also had a knee replacement and could not take any opiods....all i could take was tylenol...it was soo bad.. Can you guess and let me know how long it will be for me to be able to take care of myself? Like walk around or drive. I live alone and would want to come home asap ....but am i fooling myself thinking i could take care of myself after a few days?
