Bill's Journal

Jill Krajnovich  Praying you will have a successful surgery! I just had my aortic valve replaced with a bovine valve & an aortic aneurysm repaired through minimally invasive surgery 3 weeks ago & am doing well!

Bill Walsh  Thank you all for the encouragement and prayers. I hope to learn how to post photos so I can put a face to my name!

Bill Walsh  Great news Jill! Very encouraging for me, a novice at these things, that you are doing well. Continued blessings for a full and quick recovery!

Jill Krajnovich  Thank you, Bill! Think we are all novices going in! Everyone's experience is a little different but for me, the first week following surgery was honestly harder than I expected. I had never had surgery before and other than the births of my 3 children, had only spent one other night in a hospital. However, the silver lining is after the first week, it was easier than I expected. I expected not to be able to do hardly anything and I found I could do many things. In the 2 1/2 weeks that I have been home, I have went to a football game, attended an open house, went to the state fair, been out to dinner multiple times, baked a birthday cake, and have done many household tasks. I continue to feel better every day. I have had a few setbacks with a-fib which I am taking medication for but hopefully, it is under control and i will be able to get off the meds. Best wishes to you and hope you have a great outcome!

Bill Walsh  Jill, it sounds like you're well on your way to recovery. That is wonderful. I got my last round of golf in yesterday and hope to be dining out in 2 1/2 weeks!

Jill Krajnovich  Prayers for you tomorrow, Bill! Soon you will be out and about and on the road to recovery. I am 5 weeks post surgery and had my cardiac rehab evaluation today. I will begin next week. Overall, I am feeling very well and I am sure you will be too! Best wishes!
