You are my hero right now! Wish I were where you are now- I too will have an aortic valve replacement and 1 bypass - scheduled this Monday, the 12th. Sounds like you're well on the way to recovery- we sound so much alike- i, too just want to "sleep it out" with few visitors!! My husband has a few series set up to binge watch:-). Doubt if I'll have the energy for much else for a while! I will miss holding/picking up my 1 and 3 year old grandsons the most! Well, will be thinking of you and wishing you all the best!!!

Hi Joy
Well done ! Your going strong, it’s not easy !
But myself and my wife Ruth set the smallest of little goals everyday - and my surgery was on the 20th of Oct 2017 I am back working a 4 day week and 2 weeks ago I ran 3 miles - a snail passed me at one stage - but I just went at my own pace and it was a great achievement. Just go easy on yourself and everyday you will get stronger. You will be back with the horses sooner than you think. Kind Regards - pat

Joy Fowler I will keep you within my prayers as well. I already have a hint from my friend who didn't have a valve replacement, but rather was trampled by her horse (similar injuries!!). Her doctor prescribed protein shakes to rebuild the damage. The doc told her to add banana syrup (where the Hershey's is) or caramel ice-cream topping to vanilla shakes. Definitely helps kill the aftertaste! I have been told 3C per day for the 5 days prior to surgery and probably after as well.
