It is hard to believe I had my surgery yesterday. It went very well, although last night was a little rough pain wise but much better today. I’ve been up and on my feet, did some laps around the ICU and have had some of the drain tubes and neck IV removed. Really quite amazing how things have progressed. I appreciate the support and well wishes from you all! It has made this journey easier!

Mary Milewski What a great family! You're in such great physical shape suspect that surgery will go. quite well. While the idea of this sort of surgery is frightening many. of us have found the surgery not as bad as anticipated. Best of luck to you-looks like you have a great support team.

Susan Lynn Beautiful family!

Dan Rhoden Dan, read your story, I'm a cyclist as well, love long distance rides, 100+ miles. I too began having similar symptoms I chalked up to getting older. Had an echocardiogram that told a different story. My surgery was March 28. Recovery is going well. As mentioned by others the pre-surgery anxiety is way greater than what you'll experience. Trust the surgeon, nurses, and staff 100% and you'll be fine. Soon you'll be in recovery and rehab then back on the road soon. That's my plan! Best wishes in your journey. 🚴🚴🚴

Dan Sauerbrei Hi! Just shared your comments with my husband (Dan S.). I'm Kelle and I can't thank all of you enough for reaching out to him with such encouraging notes. He's in amazing shape (no high blood pressure, cholesterol, never smoked) and we biked 2,000 miles last year. It's only been 142 days since we walked into the ER, so I understand why he's struggled with needing heart surgery. We're very confident in our surgeon and the University of IA cardiovascular hospital. 4 days and counting! Thank you again for the kind words!
