It’s always fun to hear from patients as they recover from heart valve surgery and return to their life passions. Today, I received a fantastic email from John Coleman in Arkansas. John writes:<\/p>\n

Adam –\u00a0 At 43 years old I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis<\/a>. Like you, I elected to have the <\/p>\n

Ross Procedure<\/a>, a double valve replacement, in August, 2010 here in Arkansas. I read your book prior to surgery. It was really helpful in getting my mind and body prepared for the surgery and the recovery.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to report my double heart valve replacement surgery went great!<\/p>\n

I cannot say enough about Dr. Frederick Meadors<\/a> and his phenomenal staff — as well as the folks at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock. Doctor Meadors is a great surgeon and a friendly guy too. I have never seen anyone that had the confidence he displayed during the entire process. Dr. Meadors really made me feel good.<\/p>\n

So you know, I’ve played in a rock band for the past 21 years and it’s a big part of my life. I was eager to play a gig after my surgery. Well… I had the surgery on August 16th and played\u00a0 my “comeback” gig on November 6th. We rocked the house.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for your book and all the good info at your blog!<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin’ and rockin’!<\/p>\n
