Hello friends!
I got the go ahead to start Cardiac Rehabilitation tommorow.
I also found out today that I have a Complete Left Bundle Branch Block.
Has anyone else in our Community received this news about their heart health? If so, what did your doctors do about it? Thanks so much. I hope all are having a good evening.

On December 30th I had Open Heart surgery with an Arotic Valve Replacement due to Severe calcification of my Bicuspid Valve. Also had my Ascending Arota repaired. This was done at the absolutely amazing, incredibly staffed Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Every day I am feeling stronger and stronger. I start Cardiac Rehabilitation next week. How many days/weeks was it till my fellow community members were able to start driving again? Thank you for your responses. Gary
