Hey brother! I am a 54M retired structure FF who had a Aortic Valve Sparing and Aortic Root Replacement on Oct. 29, 2024. I currently am a contract wildland FF. I was in the hospital 4 days, with no complications. I returned to work as a wildland FF the last week in January 2025. I could have done the gopher stuff around 8 weeks after surgery as that is when my sternal precautions were lifted. Hope your surgery goes well and I will keep you in my prayers.
