So I'm 6 weeks post ohs to replace my aortic valve. 3 days after I came home my son and his family's house burnt down. Thank the Lord they all made it out safe. 3 weeks after surgery I received a letter informing me I was terminated from my job. My insurance ended yesterday. Thank the Lord it was still in effect to cover pre-surgery, surgery and post-surgery. All I'm having to pay for is INR tests and 3 cheap medicines. My grandson was born premature at 2 lbs 11ozs. He's a healthy 3 lb 9 oz's now and doing well, thank the Lord. I'll admit there's been some bumps along the way, but I honestly have to say that God has been so good to me and my family. When I look at all that could have happened, I realize it was His grace and mercy that took care of us all. I thank Jesus for bringing me through it all. I'd like to thank all of you who have posted on this blog because your stories have encouraged me along the way. Knowing I wasn't alone in this journey of ohs was very helpful. To the others who are facing this surgery I'd like to say it's doable. Sure they'll be good days and bad days, but you can make it through it. Just take one day at a time. I use to think my condition was a death sentence, but I realize now- it's not. It just gives new meaning to my life. Through it all I've learned to trust the Lord and to lean on Him. I AM BLESSED!!!!!

Anna Jones It seems really cr***y for your employment to be terminated while you are out on sick leave. I wonder if that is even legal? I'm so glad your family got out of the house safely. Congratulations and warm welcome to your grandson.
Sending best wishes that everyone will prosper from whatever adversity and that there will be good times and much health ahead.

Mark Wilbur Very sorry to hear about your problems and your son's disaster. I've lived long enough to have witnessed numerous times that time heals these problems; and that when one door closes another door will open. And, usually, that "other door" leads to better opportunities and a better life. Be open to them and let God lead you. Prayers for you and your family. And thank you for your assurance that this surgery is "do-able." I'm counting on it!

Susan Lynn I am so sorry to read your news - that's a lot to handle at any time in your life. With regard to your job loss, I'm not sure if you met the requirements or filed for Family and Medical Leave at your job, but your termination during your disability certainly raises a ton of questions. Terminating people due to certain medical conditions is unlawful and protected by several laws depending upon the size of your employer, as well as some other guidelines. I'm not sure how coincidental you think this termination may be, but you may want to call a local employment attorney if you feel you are the victim of discriminatory behavior.

Having problems getting my INR to the needed area of 2.0 to 3.0. Shots in the morning and shots at night, plus upped my Coumadin to 6 mg. Still just at 1.9 today. Very discouraged.... Going through some depression and anxiety attacks. Go to surgeon tomorrow for post-op check up.

Gina Fiorentino Hang in there Wanda. So relieved to hear you are going to visit the surgeon tomorrow for follow up. If it's helpful- I've been encouraged to write down a list of questions when I go in for each check-up as it easy to totally forget something important with limited time to talk about everything. Also- when I'm anxious and feeling panicky, my counselor told me to stay in THIS moment and try to avoid worrying about the past or future... and breathe. It is natural to be overwhelmed, but our brains are highly suggestible, so it helps me to try to focus on "what I want" vs "what I dont want" during times of stress. I will be thinking of you!

Noreen Kitchen I found that as I became more active my inr dropped which they said is quite common. Mine took awhile to get stable and it still fluctuates at times. I understand the anxiety of doing the shots I really struggled with that too. You will find what works for you with dose and diet. It will get better it’s still early days for you.
Wanda Blackwood Thanks Noreen. I've really been struggling with this.

Rita Savelis I hear you. It's hard. Sometimes your body takes more time than the norm. You need an increase in your med dose to get your INR up. After that, your INR will shoot up, and you will have gotten to range. But they increase very slowly. Afterwards, your dose may end up being lower, but your body needed that push to start it on its way.
It's very important to get patients to the right INR.
You may never know what the real issue is. It just is that way. It's not your fault, or anything you're doing right or wrong.
The first weeks/months can be hard.
I hated those shots. I hated all that testing.
It made me very annoyed and in a funk.
I really really wish that the hospital staff would explain that this happens and it is normal and you will get there and that you are not a freak if your initial INR takes time to stabilise...
Then you can just breathe and accept it.
But I think your body is also in a turmoil hormonally after OHS, so everything is out of whack.

Barbara Wood PTSD? I read that it happens after heart surgery pretty often. I haven't had any panic attacks but I do find that I'm now squeamish about medical things where I wasn't before. Last night we were watching a tv show where they depicted a man having a sternotomy & I had to leave the room. I agree with Rita- the emotional trauma comes after the physical trauma...after all, look what we've been through!
Hope no more panic attacks for you Wanda...best wishes to you!

Nancy Surprenant Takahashi Wanda I had a hysterectomy in 2016 and then my gladdbladder out 9 weeks later, i then began having all kinds of nightmares, mostly that they had now to remove my liver, i would actually wake up with phantom pain in my neck and parts of my body. The nightmares went away then when I was told that I needed OHS they came back this year. I was told by my neurologist it was a form of PTSD. I would assume you are having the same, it's very tough to deal with all these health issues without it affecting us. My doc put me on meds to calm me and it helped my mind rest while I sleep. I have since stopped taking them and things seem to be ok. I do sometimes take a melatonin at night. Try doing some relaxation things before you go to bed, try to get your mind to go to a happy place. Now when I go to sleep i take this peaceful trip in my mind and I go to someplace warm, I'm on a magic carpet and I on m carpet I bring all my loved ones and my cat, and I can feel the warm breeze, overlooking beautiful flowers. I must say it has helped.

Rita Savelis Yes, and I feel for you. Sleepingcan be very very hard after OHS. I didn't want to take sleep meds, but doctors convinced me that my body needed some sleep so I did take them every few days.
So many mornings in hospital I woke about 3AM and then just waited, waited, waited for morning to happen....

John Formby Hi Wanda - I’m 7 weeks post OHS and have only recently started to sleep through- I managed 7 hours last night.😁It was difficult in hospital as I was interrupted every hour or so for bp and temperature checks etc. When I got home things didn’t really improve and I was waking every hour. As time passed by, an hour became 90 mins and then two or three hours. I’m now sleeping well and averaging between 6 to 8 hours a night. I normally go to bed around 9-30 pm and read until I start to drift off. It took time but please and try and hang in there - you will get there😴

Bonnie Stone-Hope Hello Wanda,
I found the lack of good quality sleep difficult. Could not sleep well on my back, and had to sleep on my back until the sternum healed (6 weeks).
Tried several things which had some success, such as a glass of milk at bedtime applying lavender on my hands at night, using lots of pillows.
The only thing I could do was realize that it was a short term issue, would be over soon, spent a lot of time reading during the night on my iPad.
Had lots of time to think, so also, solved a lot of world problems.............HAHA.

So I've ended up with fluid around one lung that they've had to drain. Then I'm on lasix for the fluid around the other lung that we're hoping won't have to be drained. Potassium to counter act the lasix. On a heparin drip to bring my INR to lol level it needs to be. And having bowel issues. Any advice would be appreciated. Went into this with a good attitude, but really getting discouraged at this point.

Sonia M Glad to hear from you Wanda. I also had bowel issues during my recovery in the hospital and feeling fatigued.

Rita Savelis I'm sorry to hear that Wanda. If it's any consolation, there are many possible normal after effects of surgery (that are often not discussed pre-surgery). It's discouraging. I had 4 pleural effusions drained. Found that the lasix didn't do enough alone.
INR can take a long time to get to where it needs to be. This is normal but also disheartening.
The more you move around, the easier to get a bowel movement going, but all that you have been through has thrown your body out of whack. Light meds for bowel movements can help.
I know it's a drag to stay in hospital, but it sounds like you are being closely monitored and that's good. So many patients are sent home right away only to have issues come up at home.
Wishing you some peace.

Rita Savelis I guess you'd have to put various patients with various valves next to each other to make a comparison. The sound does vary from person to person no matter what the valve. There are examples on this site as to the sound (use the search box). I no longer am really aware of the sound of my mechanical valves (I have 2) unless the room is very very quiet.
After OHS many patients (including tissue valve recipients) are very aware of their heart and the sounds it makes and its pounding. But this changes with time.
Take care Wanda.

Wanda Blackwood Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and advice. After discussing with my surgeon I've decided on the On-X.

Gerald Poulton Hi Wanda, you will find people here who have had both operations at the same time, best to have both done if needed. I am curious why you are asking the bipass considering your age and you apparently dont know if you have blockage or not. The best scenario is that you dont need a bipass and you have your bicuspid aortic valve replaced like I did but if by chance you do have blockages they will take care of those at the same time. It is easy to worry about the worst scenario but try to keep positive and hope for the best. Which ever way it turns out, they will fix your problem and you will join us on the recovery side 👍
