A little late, but just as exciting! 4 years post-op and today I shared with a friend tips for post-op. The best piece of advice came from Adam Pick's book - MOVE! i took that to heart and will post more later ;)

When your cardio md notes are thicker than a book you know you've had a heart valve replacement!

I was excited about the package until I realized it was just paperwork for my new doc

I can sympathize . Until last fall, I was a person who just visited their primary doc once a year to check that everything was still normal... Then, BAM! You have an aneurysm that needs fixing..You meet cardiologists, have scans, have surgery...all quite a shock...
