As far as I know I am still a few years out from Aortic valve/root replacement. That said, I would like to remain as active as possible to be in my best physical shape when the time comes. Any information out there about sports (racquetball) and my limitations?
This is a great site. I can see this being an incredible resource for me as time goes on. I was really feeling down until I began reading of other's experiences.

Jean Knappik Hi David, That is great, I think the better your health is going in will be a better outcome. I just had my Aortic Valve and root replaced feeling a little rough up until about 5 weeks...I am 9 weeks post op and feeling great...I had about a 4 1/2 inch incision and at this point feel like I never had surgery. Keep up the good work!
David Kozodoy Thanks Jean. I'm glad to hear you're doing so well.

Wanda Mroz I can't speak to racquetball but I can say that prior to surgery I stepped up my game to remain more active. I was encouraged to walk daily and eat healthy to be as healthy as possible before surgery. I think it helped! So I'd encourage doing as much as you can or the doctors say you can safely do. Welcome aboard! Don't get depressed... There are a lot of successes on this site and many people to answer your questions.
