About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 63 years old and no other major medical conditions. Picture in my profile is two weeks after surgery.
First of all I would like to thank Dr. Gang and his team for saving my life.
The outcome of the surgery was fantastic, in less than 24 hours after the surgery I was walking in the CICU, two days later transferred to the Cardiac Unit Floor, and four days later I was recovering at home with minimal pain (taking one Tylenol twice per day).
Four weeks after the surgery I started driving (short distance), and going to my Cardiac Rehabilitation sessions three times per week.
My incision healing process is relatively quick (of course still in process).
Thank you again to Dr Gang, his team and CDH Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Wheaton IL for taking care of me.
