I returned home to Indianapolis yesterday after 15 days in Cleveland. After bio-bentall on Aug 19th - I had a prolonged ICU stay (respiratory and rhythm issues) of 7 days. If you have any questions regarding my decision on bio-bentall vs mechanical, cleveland clinic, Dr. Roselli, or my experiences post surgery - let me know as I am an open book and want to do whatever possible to help others who might be going through this for the first time.

Kevin Cammack Wow - I didn't see any private ICU suites in cardiac ICU at the CC. I was separated by a curtain from my neighbors. When I walked the floor they were all like that - if I am ever back there I am going to ask for the private ICU suite. That would have made a world of difference. That said, my step down room was very nice and was a godsend.
