Made it to the other side. One and a half days in ICU. Now in a stepdown room at The Cleveland Clinic. Things seem to be progressing nicely. Dr Roselli told my wife that it was a very "ugly valve". That for the thoughts and prayers from this site.

Janet Gaffney And this, right here, is why you’re going to do GREAT. Keep your thoughts on how much extended time you’re going to get with your grandchildren. How incredibly thoughtful and lovely of them to do thus for you. Makes me smile and tear up.

Mary Cobb Love your pillow, Chris! I have a very similar story to yours, and had aortic valve replacement with an Edwards bovine valve 8 months ago. I am doing great and can do everything I was doing before-and more! I am also a runner and have started running again (slowly) and it feels really good. I have 10 grandchildren and hope to be around for another 20 years at least! (I turn 69 next week.) You will be surprised at how quickly the recovery goes by!
