Hi, Mary!
Best of luck to you and your son. I had my aortic bi-cuspid valve replaced via open heart surgery on 2/14/20 in Baltimore, Maryland and just went home this past Friday. I'm 68. I'm impressed that you had enough energy to post at 3 days post op!

Mary Jewett Thank you Brad and Chris. Felt better 3 days post op than I did on day 4. Feeling better tonight though and it looks like I may be discharged tomorrow, fingers crossed. Had my pacing wires removed today and got a hot shower, boy did that feel great - now if I could just get a good back massage (man do the shoulder blades hurt) I’d be golden. 🌞

Mary Jewett Hi Roy, we must have just missed each other my surgery was at RJH on February 19. I hope you are doing well by now. The staff at Royal Jubilee have been great but I’ll still be happy to leave here tomorrow nonetheless. 🙂

Good luck Mary. I will be following you in April with the same surgery. Keep us informed on how you are progressing. This will be my second open heart. I had a repair in 2008 and was told I should be good for 10 years and that was just about right. I made it 11 years. Hopefully, I will get more time with the placement of this new aorta valve.
