12 years ago September I had my aortal valve replaced. I just dropped in to encourage all of you currently going through the process.
It will be 21 years since my aortic root surgery on February 7, and I'm hoping for an other 20!
I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve on November 24, 1974. I jokingly asked my Doctor haw long it would last. He jokingly answered "It should last at least 50 years" ! We're getting close to that!
Wow! It's very encouraging to hear from you guys! May you have many more years
Terry and Bob - you are total rock stars! We love great success stories! Continued good health to you, both! ❤
Very encouraging!! Thanks so much for posting, you're an inspiration.

I just dropped in to see how everyone is doing and to give encouragement. My surgery was September 24, 2010. I feel great and bless day I had the surgery.

Coming up on my 8th surgery anniversary. Thank God for good medical care.
I'm eight weeks in from mitral and aortic valve surgery. I'm doing very well physically, getting back my energy, not so out of breath and waiting for a cardiac rehab appointment. I'm not sleeping and have had three nights up til 4 AM. Has anyone gone through this? I wonder... Read more.
Congratulations, Terry, on your valve-versary!
Happy 8th Anniversary! Cheers to you, Terry! 🍾🥂
