Beth, it's great to hear you are doing so good. Did the hospital give you the spirometer? That ought to help you lungs.

Only 1 more day to wait. I found myself feeling apprehensive today and thinking about a few things I've been concerned about with surgery - the breathing tube and the sternal wires. It comes as no surprise that I would receive the following excerpt today from Abraham-Hicks Daily Quote -... Read more.

Your attitude, your approach, your mental state and even this post is attracting a successful operation and a new, symptom-less chapter in your life. My thoughts and... Read more.

Thank God for modern heart surgery! It's easy to be intimidated by all this (I certainly am), but my wife is always reminding me that it's an absolute gift to have been born in such a time that heart surgery has become routine when you need it.

Hi Beth, I am 6 months post surgical aortic valve replacement. I too was worried about the breathing tube but it was nothing. They removed it while I was in the ICU and I have absolutely no memory of it being in place or the removal. Hope all goes well... Read more.

Beth: I had my aortic valve replaced on August 28, 2019. I prayed for strength and a good mental and emotional steadiness. I was calm as a cucumber the day of the surgery and even surprised myself. I wish you the best on your surgery and wanted to let you... Read more.

Wishing you all the best! They can do so many amazing things. You will be in good hands. My experience was top notch on the surgery and anesthesia end. Can't thank them enough for saving my life and giving me a second chance at life.

As my rescheduled surgery approaches, (January 30) I find myself full of anxiety about the sternal wires. I'm to undergo a mini sternotomy and asked about getting the sterna lock system. The response I received was that I could have it, but that I'd need the wires as well. Has... Read more.

Hello Beth I had my AVR replaced 1/17/2020 and I have both wires and plate. I think my chest is more stable with both I am surprised by how much I can move my arms.. like putting my hair in high pony tail.. and taking my fist shower last night... Read more.

My understanding is that the plate will be more centered, and that the sternal wires will be placed on the top and bottom sides of the plate for a little extra stabilization. I had a full sternotomy with all wires in 2017, and the wires have never bothered me a... Read more.
