Hello Robert,
Thank you for posting your updates. I am so thankful to have found this heart family. I will have either a mitral valve repair or replacement on July 29th.
Glad to hear you are in cardiac rehab. My plan is to do that too. I am 58 years old, pretty active and want to keep that way.
Have a wonderful day!

Richard Davies Mia- I will be 79 in a couple of weeks, so you are still a youngster! Being active should not be a problem for you for many years to come. Twinges of arthritis do slow me down now and then and limit how far I can walk. I hope you can avoid that!- Richard (Dick)

Thank you for posting this, Richard. I am sure it keeps your loved ones up to date, but it also helps though of us coming behind you in your footsteps. I will also go to Inova, and had wondered what it might be like. Your write up is a wonderful tour. Hope I can do as well as you, and hope that I am able to drive by the time rehab starts. Did it work out that way for you?

Richard Davies I hadn't realized that so many patients were folllowing my posts. So I messed up when I went so long without recounting my experiences. (To me it has been a lengthy process akin to watching grass grow.) I'll have to do better, at least through my allowed 36 sessions of rehab!-Dick

Thanks for the great write-up! It was detailed enough to get a sense of what you actually do. The gym session looks really cool in that it is monitored and recorded and I was amazed that you are in there for over 75 minutes!!
I am really pleased to see you doing well and apparently loving it. Keep up the good work.

Richard Davies I'm really glad my narrative wasn't too boring. I figured that as long as I was taking the time to write a journal, it might as well be more than "Hi, I'm doing fine. So long." - Dick

I will be having AVR at Fairfax, with the same doctor. I am glad it went well for you, and that you seem to be on the mend. I hope they let us drive before the cardiac rehab, let us know how that goes.
I wonder, did you wake up with the breathing tube still in place, or don't you recall? That is one of my fears.

Hi Dick,

Dear Richard, I am very glad to know that your aortic replacement went well. I am right behind you, having been referred to Fairfax Inova for the cardiac cath, en route to a valve replacement for stenosis. I, too, hope to have Dr. Spier, and hope to do as well as you did.
Oh so glad you are home and doing well. What an adventure. I can't imagine how sore you must be. It's amazing how you could be up and walking the same day! ...Read more
Oh so glad you are home and doing well. What an adventure. I can't imagine how sore you must be. It's amazing how you could be up and walking the same day! You continue in my thoughts!
