This isn’t your typical medical guide - you’ve got your providers for that. Instead, these are the practical strategies I've learned through two valve surgeries and years of helping others. From setting up fail-proof medication systems to handling tough conversations with providers, these 51 tips come from real experience. They’re the things I wish someone had told me early on - the everyday solutions that make living with a heart valve more manageable.
