I underwent open heart surgery on July 3rd, with aortic valve replacement. While recovering, I showed signs of forgetfulness, mental confusion, and syncope, and was hospitalized again. A cardiac arrhythmia was diagnosed, resulting in an ischemic stroke in the cerebellum. I started taking anticoagulants and anti-arrhythmia medication, and I'm recovering. I've been experiencing uncomfortable flare-ups of pain in my left chest, shoulders, and back, and there's likely inflammation of the intercostal nerve. It's not easy, but it requires patience.
