Hi Donald-I am now four days post AVR and home. Dr. Katz was at the controls. I had the right anterior thoracotomy with a bovine valve. Things are going well, making sure not to rush anything. Life is certainly better w/o staring at OHS each and every day. Hope you are well and recovery continues!

Hi Don..
I chuckled reading your post, because just the other day someone said the same thing to me...and I too had the same thought about how we are suppose to look..LOL.. The best part...is how we FEEL...the \"look\" is a bonus!! :)
So glad to hear you are doing well. I remember reading your journal as I waited for \"my day\". You gave me hope that I too would have a good outcome. God is good...we are truly blessed!!!
Best of Luck as you continue good health!

Hi Donald,
Yes, I\'m almost 2 weeks post-op and I\'m so grateful to the new lease on life. In fact when I briefly woke up with a ventilator in my mouth there was a wave of happiness.....then I blacked out.
Thanks for sharing your story. I\'m happy you have a \"new normal\" life. Like you, my priorities have changed and I\'m living each day to the fullest.
Warm Regards,
