This is day 3 of week 4 and everything feels fine. I am a little tired in the afternoons so I take a nap. No significant pain I am real pleased with the results.
I started rehab yesterday and the classes look good.
Take Care,

This is the end of my third week and everything is moving in the right direction. I feel remarkable well. My experience at Park West Hospital in Knoxville was very good. The doctors are great, the nurses, assistants and aids were all very good.
I experienced some discomfort but no serious pain. I took some pain pills the first couple days after surgery and then quit. I rather have the discomfort than have the feeling of being drugged. I am following the walking and breathing exercises at home and feel stronger each day. I am scheduled for a rehab evaluation tomorrow.
If anyone has questions, I will be glad to share additional information.
So far so good.

Tomorrow is the big day. I will be checking into the hospital at 5am. I appreciate the opportunity to read the journals on this web site. It has helped preparing for the big adventure tomorrow.
Thanks

I am scheduled for Mitral Valve replacement surgery Oct. 17th. I will also have a bypass for a mammary artery and a maze procedure to address atrial fibrillation.
I think this is a great Web Site and I am encouraged by the feedback from the journals. I am interested in advice regarding preparation for the surgery and the follow on recovery and rehabilitation.
