While an anxious wait from diagnosis last June, the TAVI operation in Brighton this week went like a dream. Admitted 4pm on Monday, discharged with only a nick in my groin and a brand new aortic valve, 4pm on Wednesday. And I have walked the dog twice since.. The new valve is made either of cow or pig skin. I wasn't told which. However, I felt a bit guilty eating the pork pie my wife, Valerie, smuggled in, fearing it might be the new valve's mother!
