Singer Amy Grant took to Instagram on Sunday to show off the scar from her recent open heart surgery.
“The only way I can explain my experience would be to ask you to imagine a non-runner who was signed up for a marathon,” she wrote. “I didn’t want it, but I had to have it anyway and it was a week ago Wednesday.”
The 59-year-old “Every Heartbeat” singer thanked well-wishers and said her recovery “has honestly felt miraculous.”
Grant had the surgery to correct a condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, or PAPVR. She shared the diagnosis with fans in February. “I have had a heart condition since birth,” she wrote. “It’s fixable, so instead of concerts and camping trips this summer, I am going to take care of my heart.”
Grant, who has been married to country singer Vince Gill since 2000, had a pop hit with "Baby Baby" in 1991 and has earned six Grammys in Gospel categories.
