About Me

This is my second open heart surgery. First one was in Nov 2007 at Providence hospital MI and surgeon was Dr. Lee. The valve was 27 mm from Medtronic-pig. I was getting tired and out of breath for last several months. Elected to get surgery at CC. I am going through recovery and will be starting cardiac rehab on Aug 15. I was told that my old valve was very fragile and caught in ontime or could have serious implications. No tests had shown issues like that. Thank God that I had the experienced surgeon and best hospital. I was in hospital for five days.
