Hey Mike, my mom is going to need aortic valve replacement surgery and is going in for a pre surgical consult with Dr. Yun. Looks like he was your surgeon too, did you have a similar procedure? Is it safe to say that my mom is in good hands? Let me know whenever you get the chance, thanks!

Hi mike, thanks for the note on the recliner. I made some calls today and have located a place that should have something for me when I return home. No harm having it.
Glad too hear you are recovering well....I hate those first few days of recovery - I had pretty major surgery when I was sixteen and still remember just a moment in ICU waking up - it's rough..and when they told me to get up and sit in a chair..I was like, really? Anyway, I know we are all grateful to get "fixed" and be able to move along with our lives. Keep up the great work on recovering.
Wow good news you are well on your way to recovery. A day at a time ... all the best on your new journey with your newly fixed heart.

Glad to see you feel well enough to post for yourself. The first couple of weeks are rough, but take the meds, rest a lot and try to drink enough fluids. I did ok with ginger ale and coke, not so well with milk and OJ at first. Now, four weeks later, no problems. I am glad you are healing, every day you (or your loved ones most likely) will see progress. Keep healing!
Hello Mike,
Good to hear that the healing has begun. You will feel better each day. I am now 18 days post op, and feeling wonderful. I took a long walk today. ...Read more
Hello Mike,
Good to hear that the healing has begun. You will feel better each day. I am now 18 days post op, and feeling wonderful. I took a long walk today.
Still wake up during the night but think that's because I have a newborn valve. I could not have a repair as there was so much calcification. This apparently was from rheumatic fever as a child.
I had a terrible cough fort a long time way before surgery, and am so happy to say that its disappeared.
Rest when you can, drink lots of water and ask for pain meds when you need them.
Thinking of you and remembering you in my prayers.
Be sure to journal as your strength improves. Before you know it you will be home sweet home.
Your heart sister!
Congratulations Mike on your successful repair!

Congratulations Mike on your successful repair!
I'm with Kevin -- I LOVED my ice chips - couldn't get enough of them - seriously. That and apple juice the first day or two. I wasn't that hungry even on the day of discharge but I managed to eat some solid food the last 2 days. They won't let you go home unless you poop....so you have to eat something solid toward the end, even if you aren't that hungry.... ;)
Wishing you all the best with your recovery.... keep us posted!

Great News!!! I would also recommend to stay with Ice Chips and maybe small sips of water the first day. Jello and broths on the second day. Don't rush into solid foods to quickly! Best to your entire Family!
