It was especially concerning because that kind of surgery would require her to go under, which is a big risk with POTS, as it means she has low BP and blood volume to start

it also means that she can now do exercises, physical therapy, and her lifting limitation is no longer an issue.

also, her previously diagnosed "mild to moderate" aortic unsufficiency only showed trace signs, so that means that things aren't as advanced as we thought
Mr. Graves
