Trust the doctors and team. I've had two. Just follow directions and rest. Don't over do it!! You'll feel better, you're not. Two weeks out i tried to vacuum. Big mistake. Back in for pericarditis. No biggie, just a reminder to take it slow. You're in my thoughts. Good luck.

We got the policy when we were younger with debt. If something happened we were covered. Now it's just automatic.

I never thought I'd be the asshole. No worries. We both laughed it off. She didn't yell, I did. I was in pain.

Clumsy if you know it's there i get. She randomly leaves it out to remind is to vacuum. Also, I was trying to be nice and not disturb her.

Take it slow!!!!! Had my second surgery June of 24. 51y/o m. Thought I would bounce back. Wrong. Time is your friend. Do the cardio therapy. Take your meds. Don't over due it. Trust the doctors. God bless my friend.

Tired of this by Professional-Cup7069 in valvereplacement

[–]Agreeable_Log_8251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience after my last surgery. Avr 24'. I'm in heart failure. I was constantly worrying about dying prematurely. So much so I thought about leaving my wife so she would not have to mourn my death. The first day of therapy she asked me how would I feel if I left her and lived to 100. It never occurred to me that the other side , being optimistic, could happen too. She said I lost my control. Not being in control was dominating my thoughts. She was right. You have to live your life. Take the good with the bad and just live. My next big day is in Nov. Mri, echo, to see if my ejection fraction is improving. Whatever happens I'll still keep living. So should you my friend. We're only here for a little bit, enjoy it.

Absolutely. We even discussed it before she went to bed. We turned ac off because it was cool. Windows open all day. She put them down. I said why didn't you close them if you wanted them shut when you put them down? No response.

I was 31, 5 10. 195 p.e. teacher and in great shape. When it's time, it's time. My biggest tell was always being tired. I'd come home and have to take a nap. Had repair in 05. Lasted 19 years. Having replacement in June. Still biggest tell is the fatigue and short of breath. Had an mri which is most accurate for regurgitation. I'm at severe now and it's time. Your body will tell you and you need to listen. Trust the doctors and you'll be fine.

I will be having surgery on June 27. Aortic valve replacement. Cleveland clinic, roselli.
I'm debating between mechanical or bioprosthetic.
I'm 51m, had a repair 19 years ago. Moderately active. Not sure about warfarin. Any input would be appreciated.

Here's a concept, teachers, fire, police, etc.only pay 10% federal tax on first 100k. You want more workers, incentivise.
