Tom Fitzmorris Thanks for the compliment, Kenneth. At this time I tired easily but was already walking good distances. It is all relative. Compared to many on this site I was fortunate to only require a partial sternotomy and my AVR replacement was only 1 hour 40 minutes, of which 40 minutes on bypass pump; and I believe that "time on pump" is a big factor in the near term rate of recovery, as I gathered from my surgeon, Dr. Castro. I understand that you are doing a mitral valve repair?? Are you scheduled yet?
