You asked my opinion about Edward Chen. From my point of view he is a good mechanic - he replaced my bicuspid aortic valve with a pig valve and all seems to be going well. I'm 3 weeks out. Fatigue is my biggest challenge now. Now Chen has no bedside manner and communications with his office staff is non-existent BUT I did like his nurse practitioner, Kelly. I understand you had to go back in!!! If you feel like chatting, give me a call at 770-617-0629.

Hi Debbie.. I followed your story when I first got on the site. how are you doing? I still haven't had surgery but was wondering how things are going. you have a mechanical valve correct? I read you had questions about the clicking.. my fear is that I would hear that and it would drive me nuts.. I'd appreciate your feedback. thanks

LOL I have a air machine that runs beside my bed but you can still slightly hear it and feel it. But overall I'm feeling very Blessed !! I would love to stay in touch with you through out your journey.

Yes Debbie, you will get used to it and not even notice the heartbeat after a while. It took me about 6 months. Last year i had a week of jitters and pounding heartbeat That lasted about a week and had it again this year and both times checked out fine but after OHS we are allowed to get concerned when things seem different.

Hi Debbie, Just read your post re: noise from mechanical valve. Would you consider trying hypnosis to help you reduce your perception of the noise? My friend has had a mechanical valve for the past 10 years and says he actually likes to hear its reassuring sound. Brenda Kelly
