New month and 10 days post op. Getting better every day. Walking more every day and sleeping more at night. I have a fib and they are going to try and correct the rhythm next week with a cardioversion. Other than that still some inside aching in my chest.

Hi, I got out of Adventist White Oaks Medical Center yesterday. I had my aortic valve replaced with an ONX mechanical valve. I feel stronger every day. I'm walking a little and doing the stairs. Whew it is good to be home. Dr. Rongione performed the valve replacement with Dr. Massimiano. The surgeons and medical team in the OR and ICU were excellent. Follow up visits with Dr. Rongione this week.
