Hi Kathleen, I read your journal. You've been through a lot. Great news that your last echo was great and there isn't even a trace leak. I'm praying that you will hear continued good news.
I haven't heard of people being able to here bovine valves but who knows. I know my doctor let me hear my mine through a stethoscope and I was able to hear the tick then.. but wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor?

Monday was my CRT-D implant surgery. It's a synchronization pacemaker with defibrillator. It will pace my heart when I go below 60 and shock if I stay above 200. I am sore but doing well. Trying to get used to sleeping like crap again while I heal. :)
Kathleen, I'm so glad you've got that behind you and doing well! I'm sorry you had to go through another surgery, but praying this will take care of the problem. God bless you!
I am so glad all went well! Hope your recovery goes very smoothly!!

Kathleen, will pray for continued healing and health!
Praying for renewed strength and complete healing for you!!
They held off installing the pacer as long as possible? I'm guessing on that part of it. I like what you said about the doctor. "We don't know if this will give you energy and well being but here's to something"
Take care.
