About Me (In My Own Words)
Lifelong heart murmur, now diagnosed specifically as aortic stenosis, with possible bicuspid valve.
April 7, 2014 - Happy Anniversary!
It's been exactly 4 weeks since my aortic valve replacement. Now a distant memory, the ordeal of the surgery is a blur. I was able to get up and walk around the day after the surgery. And I was discharged after 8 days. I walk, do pool exercises, and am now driving. So, I'm fortunate that the pain is gone, the scar is healing without complications. I will return for a follow-up echocardiogram in a month.
My heart rate is still high, in the 90's; and the clicking sound are the only remaining obstacles.
I received the CarboMedics Top Hat 25 mm device.
I'm eternally grateful to all the doctors, nurses, and other staff at Queen's Medical Center, Honolulu for their dedication to my case.
