Anyone else a member? I recently joined :-(
Now have carbon mitral valve following endocarditis.
Ten weeks in hospital, first seven on four hourly intravenous antibiotics to kill the infection before the open heart surgery.
Had a 2cm ball of bacterial growth on the valve. All from a cut to my leg while gardening last summer!!
Have to say I had to google to find out what that was. Nasty - hope you are recovering well, pjQuote:

Pleased to hear you're recovering, p. Sounds nasty. I'm far too much of a wimp to google it tbh.Quote:
