I tend to do most of my posting over on the HeartValve Facebook page, thought I would drop in so you all could see someone 5 years post Aortic Valve replacement/Aorta Aneurysm replacement. Don't worry, I was this ugly before my surgery. For those of you here going in for... Read more.

Woo-Whoo!!! Way to go Bob! Happy Anniversary!!!!
Great post Bob. Glad you are doing so well.
Just joined the community getting closer to needing aortic valve replacement. Been dreading this day since old enough to know I needed it eventually. Your story is the first I read and so grateful for that. Scariest time of my life right now but hoping with all of your stories... Read more.

Just for grins I'm posting the picture my wife took of my first full day at home following surgery with my staff of attendants looking after me.

That is a "comforting" picture... in more ways than one!
Great picture! They missed you!
Certainly does provide "grins".
How do you tell them apart?
OMG! All three of them look like my Frosty who passed away at age 16 a couple of years ago. They sure know who needs attention. Both my cats always knew when I felt bad! and would sit with me. I miss them so much.
Looks like those attendants are snoozing on the job to me... I would call their supervisor...Lol!
Let us hope they don't decide to pounce on your chest! They look happy to be with you - they must have missed you.
How sweet. Thanks for sharing and for the smile.
Just the kind of calm comfort you need! I was so happy to get home from hospital and start the recovery process! I am coming up on my one year anniversary in September and feeling great! Best of luck to you on your journey!
