I have competed the game.. and im trophies hunting! And every time I replay every chapter , i still can’t seem to find that exact Death totem 2 !! I think it’s the one that has the vision of Mike dying from a cliff or sth!! Please guys i need some help here 😭
I’m 32F , I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), Barlow’s disease, severe mitral regurgitation (MR), and mitral annular disjunction (MAD).
Because of the severity of the valve problem, I underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair surgery. During the surgery, the surgeons repaired the valve by placing a ring around the mitral valve and cutting/resecting part of the leaflet to restore proper valve function and reduce the backward leakage of blood.
The surgery was minimally invasive, with approximately five stitches/incisions on my upper thigh near my hips, six stitches under my right breast, and two stitches between my breasts.
The recovery immediately after surgery was extremely difficult. When I woke up, I experienced immense pain throughout my body. I was not given morphine or propofol for pain management and was mainly given painkillers approximately every four hours, which made the pain difficult to control.
Shortly after leaving the ICU and being transferred to my room, I developed severe abdominal and stomach pain. When I was put on an IV drip, I suddenly developed red spots across much of my body and felt as though my ears and entire body were burning. The drip was changed, and the reaction eventually improved.
The following day, I could barely keep anything in my stomach. Almost everything I tried to eat or drink—including protein drinks, eggs, and soup—made me vomit. I also became extremely dizzy and weak, to the point where I could barely keep my eyes open, while still experiencing significant pain.
Over the following days, I developed severe back pain that made sleeping extremely difficult. Lying down or even reclining in bed caused intense pain and made breathing feel extremely difficult, as though my lungs could not fully expand. I then developed unbearable pain around my left shoulder blade and the front of my shoulder, accompanied by a fever. The pain was so severe that it felt as though my shoulder was being chopped off. Thankfully, the shoulder pain eventually disappeared after several days.
After leaving the hospital, my recovery continued to be challenging. Some days I feel relatively good, while other times I become extremely weak, particularly when my blood pressure is low. I also developed severe, aggressive constipation. During one episode, I was stuck on the toilet for about an hour, sweating, shaking all over, and struggling to breathe while trying to pass an extremely hard stool. Because my heart was beating very hard and fast during the episode, we were extremely worried that the strain might have damaged the newly repaired valve.
I am now 12 days post-operation. I still have some swelling around the surgical scars and remain somewhat weak, but overall I am feeling better every day.
My current medications include two medications that help remove excess fluid from my body (planned for about one month), two blood-thinning medications (planned for about three months), another medication planned for approximately one year to help regulate my heart rhythm, a stomach medication for about one month, medication to help prevent constipation, and painkillers as needed. I am also trying to eat plenty of protein and nutritious food to support my recovery.
Despite everything I have experienced, I am gradually recovering. I sincerely don’t know if this is what people experience after surgery but it is difficult and painful.. not at all as easy as some think…
Hi guys! Im new to this app and I’m trying to find someone with a similar situation to mine or someone who knows about it…
I was recently diagnosed with Barlow’s disease, severe mitral regurgitation, and mitral annular disjunction (MAD). I’m only 31, and I never imagined I would have a heart condition. It was discovered during a routine annual check-up.
I’d really appreciate hearing perspectives about going ahead with the surgery? is it a successful one? Will get back to my normal life? Or should i just wait despite them doctors telling me that i have to do it.. they would like to have the valve repaired as my heart condition is still good!
I’m feeling very worried and scared, especially because I live alone in a foreign country and my family is thousands of miles away.and this whole situation is freaking me out and I thought that reading and hearing from others who have been through the same situation would make me feel better and help me decide what to do..
