Hello all, I had my Aortic Valve Replacement and ascending aorta aneurysm repair surgery on 4/8/2025. I got discharged from the hospital on 4/18/2025. I spent the first two nights at home with a few Orthostatic Hypotension episodes and NO Pain whatsoever. Perhaps my no-pain is attributed to the 4 rigid sternal plates that the plastic surgeon used to close my sternum. My appetite is not yet back to normal. I lost about 15 lbs in the last 2 weeks and the Blood Pressure is averaging 129/79.
I have to say that some hypotension episodes are a little scary. So far I have not taken a fall.
I am very happy to be home and I will take it day-by-day for the next few weeks.
