Going home full OHS Aortic valve and aortic root replacement- nothing could have prepared me for the intense pain of this surgery- it took some time for doctors to get the pain in control- still so many hoses, wires and tubes everywhere- I went home day 6 post op- moving slowly and no appetite. First night in the recliner. So thankful for skilled medical team

Thank goodness for the skilled medical teams, these individuals are very gifted and have a huge part of the recovery process. I can't thank my care team enough, I told them over and over, "I wouldn't be where I am today, if it weren't for you."
I am 28 days post op from mitral valve robotic surgery and the pain and chest tubes were excruciating at times, but things do get better. Make sure to take your pain meds and stay on top of them so you are not chasing the pain. Before you know it, things will get better when you least expect it. Let your loved ones help you and take in the support you receive. You got this! We are here for you if you have any questions or just want to vent. This site is such a blessing! Godspeed!

Carol Jackson I see you had Dr. Greason as your surgeon. He is the best and as I recall had great bedside manner when I had OHS 9 years ago. He was also on the team for my TAVR last year.
