Prayers for you as you are recovering and healing. I would definitely ask for pain meds if you feel you need them. I took mine for two months after my open heart surgery in April this year. They tried the Tylenol treatment with me but it didn't work and they finally gave me stronger meds. I am allergic to morphine and they couldn't give me that. Pain is no joke and unless someone has had OHS then they have no idea how bad it can be. Prayers you get relief soon!

Alicia Michaels Thank you! I’m getting quite nervous. Mostly about recovery and pain. Then there is the risk of death. Ugh.

Robert Miller Recovery is temporary. You will get this. Just be prepared. Check the learning center on this website.

Death? You are more likely to face that if you don't do anything. You will be in a hospital where there are a lot of doctors and nurses VERY close by. I never felt safer than getting the surgery and being in the hospital.

Richard Munson Everything in life has a risk but the risk of death you are most concerned about is greater if you do nothing. Before my recent colonoscopy and cataract surgeries, i had to sign my life away. Best wishes to you.

Geoff Curtis You can do this! I'm 2 weeks post op today, SAVR by hemi-sternotomy. After the first couple of days you'll feel better and better every day.

Alicia,
What size is your aortic anuerysm? I have tricuspid regurgitation (moderate to severe) as well as aortic anuerysm of 4.1. I get echo every 6 months now. Just curious about what made them decide to go ahead and schedule your surgery now.
Look forward to your updates and wish you all the best going forward.

Alicia Michaels My aneurysm is 5.3cm and symptomatic along with the regurgitation the doctor wants to fix it. I am quite anxious about the aneurysm being so large and rupturing so I am glad we cam to the decision to repair it.

Richard Munson Good decision

Kimberly Eisenhut I am so happy you found it and will have it fixed soon! My daughter lives in Wisconsin. I just went up to visit a couple of weeks ago and went to Madison, to the farmers market, saw the capital and had a great lunch. There was a Badgers game that day and it was fun seeing all the college kids walking around with their Badger attire :)
The lake was beautiful too!
