I Was Hospitalized In 2013,I Had My Mitral And Tricuspid

I was hospitalized in 2013,I had my mitral and tricuspid value repaired. The first days of recovery went smooth. After that things went down hill,a week's stay turned into a three mos. fight for my life. I got some kind of infection. It appears a wound in my groin area was left untreated. This somehow led to kidney damage and cirrhosis of the liver (not a drinker) Finally,after all kind of treatment, I was released from the hospital. Fast forward to now,recovery was going ok. But I had a two week stay in the hospital this past Oct, a fungus on one of my valves and a disc on my back. I had to have dialysis and continued as an outpatient until last month.Didn't have to anymore . I have had two paracentsis ( first one--10 lbs of fluid removed --2nd 5 lbs )
recently.Doctor visit had lost 5 lbs ( saw nurse practitioner ) arranged an ultrasound to rule out a tumor.
Your thoughts ?
