Doris Schröder-Köpf survived her heart surgery: "Now I'm going into the new year with a huge burden less," she said, "Bunte".

The politician already revealed in the summer that Doris Schröder-Köpf (57) had to undergo a heart valve operation. Now she has survived the operation: "I'm doing pretty well," she told the magazine "Bunte" after the operation. "I am happy, satisfied and grateful and I feel that I am in the very best hands with Prof. Haverich and his great team. I had planned the Advent season differently. Even Christmas. But now I am going into the New Year with a huge burden less and I can do it." Spending holidays with my family without fear of the upcoming surgery. "

Since she still has to take it easy, her partner, Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Boris Pistorius (60), will take care of the Christmas dinner, "he cooks fantastic. Or we order pizza. The main thing is that we are all together," said Schröder-Köpf. Her partner also takes care of her in the hospital: "He reads every wish from my eyes." You couldn't ask for a better partner.

Information for the children

Pistorius also keeps his partner's three children up to date by making cell phone videos of the patient and passing them on: "This way, the children are informed about every step and are close to me, even if they are not allowed to visit me," explains Schröder-Köpf who, according to the report, will start outpatient rehab before the holidays.
