They moved my heart valve surgery up a couple of days and I will go in next Tuesday for the "procedure". I will try to get back as soon as I can, but may be away from the site for a week or so. I will also miss all the regulars. Thanks for sharing and hope to back posting soon.

Aortic valve? My son had his aortic valve and ascending aorta replaced five years ago. When you're in ICU right after surgery, you'll be out of it, while more nurses than you could count attend to all the lines going in and out. Eventually, lines are weaned and you're sent to a regular room and then home. The nice thing about it is that, for the most part, you won't feel no pain, so to speak. You will fell weak for some months but will regain your strength. You'll be able to assume all of your regular activities but won't be able to lift heavy objects (this may be different in your case...Evan is limited to 40 to 50 pounds due primarily to the replacement for his ascending aorta). Thank goodness for modern technology. Replacement valves used to be large and cumbersome. Now they're made out of hardened carbon and if taken care of (blood thinners) can last up to 100 years. There will be, however, a new thump to go along with the beating of your heart. All in all....it will extend your life and return it to normal. Godspeed, and let us know how it goes.
