Well I've reached my one month anniversary for my aortic valve surgery....I feel great although I am still sore in and around my chest muscles...My stomach can't seem to stay settled.....but overall i feel great...post surgery pain was not near what I had feared. I'm up to 30 minutes a day on my ellyptical....and then I walk for 35 minutes extra....it makes me feel great....I would highly recommend Dr. Baker at Roanoke Carillion Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia...He was great. hopefully I will get to drive again tomorrow (funny how much I miss my drives) next post will be post appointment with Dr Baker tomorrow....Blessings to all

Well, one week ago today I was having my aortic valve replaced by Dr. Joseph Baker, at Roanoke Memorial Hospital...I came home from the hospital Saturday morning and have felt great...My surgery went fabulous and I definitely feel like a new person.....Dr. Baker is the greatest. as is the nursing staff at Roanoke Memorial...I will add more later but wanted to check in and shout halleluyah.....

thanks for the post....they did help take the edge off of the anxiety I was feeling.....my surgery is on August 7. then catch up time for all the times I have had to forgo doing the things I wanted to do...My post surgery goal is to hike the Appalachian Trail....I've so missed those hikes...Lee and Linda I will keep you in my thoughts as your surgery approaches.....Trent thanks for the encouragement....
