I am 53M Fire Captain and am getting Aortic Valve Replacement next week with a Bio-valve along with ascending aortic aneurysm. Wondering how long typical hospital stay is?

Any help is appreciated

Grace Mason I took a full 12 weeks, but went back to my desk jockey job at 10 weeks a half day for the first week back. I probably could have gone earlier but just wanted to make sure I didn't do too much too soon and not have the stamina.
