The incision on my chest was throbbing.<\/p>\n

It was two weeks after my aortic valve operation and I had taken my last Vicodin several hours earlier. While we had a refill, it was late at night (around 9pm) and our local Rite-Aid was closed.<\/p>\n

Robyn (my wife) frantically searched Rite-Aid’s website to find a 24 hour pharmacy. Luckily, there was an all-night pharmacy about twenty-five minutes away. In a split-second, she kissed me good-bye and was out the door.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rite<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

She returned about an hour later with my pain medication. (Robyn is my guardian angel.)<\/p>\n

My point of this little story? Be prepared. If possible, find out (in advance of your heart valve surgery) where a local 24 hour pharmacy is. You may need it for pain medication, severe constipation<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin!
