I need a mitral valve replacement
I went to Mayo Clinic in phoenix and that is where they will go my surgery… I am doing coughing exercises and breathing exercises with devices. I have an AIR PHYSIO and a Respiratory trainer and i also have the devices with the balls and something called THE BREATHER. I have several devices… I’m doing everything I possibly can to help my lungs. Also doing Yoga. I have a breathing test at Mayo in Scottsdale on the 15th then meeting the doctor and going over the results on the 16th
I’m also hoping that she can share with me anything else I can do to get my lungs into shape.
