@holly1275 I join Debra @karukgirl in sympathizing with you - I admire your determination to get this fixed and right so you can get on with your best life.

Yes, care for HCM at a COE is the best possible route. You emphatically emphasize that in your post (thank you). These Centers of Excellence are listed on the website of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association website 4hcm.org, here is a link to the list: https://www.4hcm.org/center-of-excellence Not all preform septal myectomies, if one is needed, a patient is sent to a place that has surgeons with much septal myectomy experience.

There is no place like home! It has only been a week. Please keep moving - slowly - walking, too. Please also share updates on how you are doing, even compare this recovery to that of the previous experience.

Hello! I’m glad you are up and moving it is encouraging to me, I’m scheduled for my septal myoectomy October 27 in Minnesota. Hugs don’t lift too much and try really hard to listen to your body and rest as often as needed so you don’t overdo it/messing up what you’ve gone through because there’s so much more for us! I honestly believe this to be true!!
