Dissected: Healing With Poetry... My Journey of Two Aortic Dissection Surgeries

By Maria Trinidad Herrera

Maria Trinidad Herrera had her first Aortic Dissection surgery in 2009. The fears and questions became overwhelming. The difficulty with the diagnosis and the lack of knowledge of some of the medical professionals worked against her. What could have been addressed with a stent or observation, if found on time, led to a complicated and dangerous emergency open-heart surgery that forever changed her life. The psychological traumas after the surgery became a daunting chore and led her to find a healing path. Poetry became her path ... and fortified her spirit in her most vulnerable moments.
