John's Profile

Tissue aortic valve has gone bad after 17.5 years and in a couple of days I'm going in for OHS number 3 at the age of 58. Re-ops are always risky, and this one has me kind of nervous. I've gotten all my affairs in order, just in case. Hope to post in a couple of weeks about how sore and tired I am but glad I made it through the surgery. If I don't post… Hoping the third time's the charm. Just wanted to share. Good luck to everyone in Heart Valve Surgery Land.
