I'm doing my pre-op and heart cath tomorrow for surgery on Monday. To keep my mind off me, I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and the others having surgery tomorrow, the 15th. Wishing you the best outcome and easy recovery!

Keeping good thoughts for you. You are doing the right thing by doing this now. The older you get, the more difficult it is to recuperate. Might as well use every advantage we can get. Take care cuz.

Hi Al, I never asked my doctors about cutting the grass since my sons take care of it; however, they told me that my sternum around the break forms a thick callus that eventually hardens and remodels into new bone. I would imagine that when you're back playing softball, you'll be back starting your lawn mower.

Hey, cuz... I think I'm now signed up correctly to follow your journey! I know you'll master this the same way you have all your other retirement activities, and be back in the alley and on the courts and courses in a minimum amount of time. Love to you and Wendy!

Al Soares Hi Michelle, yes you are. Thanks for the good wishes...

Hi Al, Great to meet you and welcome to our community! Like you, I also needed aortic valve surgery. It's nine years later and I have returned to all the physical activities I enjoyed prior to surgery - swimming, biking, skiing, running, golf, etc. So you know, my big concern was that I wouldn't be able to Scuba dive after surgery. As you can see in the post below, I've even returned to the waters for several dives after surgery. http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2007/07/27/scuba-diving-after-heart-valve-surgery/ I'm hopeful that your recovery is smooth and your healing is quick. Please take the time to research each step in the surgical process. If you need anything, please let me know. Keep on tickin! Adam
