Hi Stephen, I'm 8 weeks post Op for the same issue/surgery (I'm 62). It really is not that bad. I'm very glad to have it past me, the wait was horrible. I'm back to doing everything I did pre-surgery. I do still have some soreness and a little "tingling" from the nerves in the incision area but every day it gets less.
It's amazing was a fine-tuned machine the operating team and recovery team is. I was totally impressed.
You'll do great and be glad you did it when you wake up.
Almost there, Stephen. It will over soon and you will be on your way to recovery. I had a mitral valve repair too and was so happy and relieved that it was ...Read more
Almost there, Stephen. It will over soon and you will be on your way to recovery. I had a mitral valve repair too and was so happy and relieved that it was done. And, I hear ya. Italy does have some amazing surgeons. I am pretty certain that Italy is where the innovative mitral valve clip was invented! Godspeed.
Richard Munson They also invented the pizza which i am having for dinner tonight.
Deena Z Richard and Stephen, in my world pizza is in its own food group! Love it.

Richard Munson Love of pizza is in the eye of the beholder. I like thin crust, there are as many thick crust lovers. I prefer well done with cheese and linguica a portuguese sausage common in my area. Lots of portugese folks settled here. I had a linguica and cheese omelet the other morning at a diner. An artery clogger for sure.
Deena Z Check. Thin crust w pepperoni.

Richard Munson You can buy it on line ( gaspars linguica) . I just ate salmon but never saw it was smoked. Salty. My b/p will no doubt go up.

Deena Z Thanks for the head start, Richard, in looking for the gaspars linguica. Was reading it needs to be cooked, since it is not cured. And not being cured like pepperoni is probably a good thing.

Richard Munson Like a lot of similar foods, you would probably not enjoy seeing it produced. Word has it that witnessing hot dog production is a game changer. The smell driving by the gaspar factory is a little strong. Its between my house and my cardiologists office. They have a factory outlet. Another brand is amaral but never ate that one. That smoked salmon i ate did raise my b/p a bit. Seems back to normal. I wonder if Scandinavians have high b/p eating smoked salmon a lot. Now that pot is legal in massachusetts can smoking salmon be far behind? Maybe thats why abba retired so young. Too much salmon.
