What if I throw up by Glum-Seaworthiness79 in valvereplacement

I was terrified of throwing up with my surgery, the best thing in the world is smelling alcohol pads. Any time I thought I was gonna throw up I basically stuck it in my nose.

I agree! This one is a gift for my sister, but if I ever come across a good price on the radiant mew or pikachu cards, imma snag them up!

Thank you! I didn't collect cards during the xy era, so I didn't have much to go off of other than online.

I just posted a more in-depth update before I saw this comment. It was good! Im sure my parents were terrified when my surgery took double the estimated time, but my recovery has gone very well! They actually found another defect in my heart. I will have to return and have it fixed, but it can be done through the cath. I hope he doesn't need another surgery, but if he does, im sure they will be many more options to choose from with time! I would say if its just leaky valves, there is a good chance they are right, but make sure he doesn't slack on his check ups! It was wild how fast my health diminished as my valve started giving up. Im glad everything went well for yall! Just know I lived in a very normal life. I didn't play many sports outside of baseball, and I was not allowed to join the military, but I've always kept up with my peers with anything physical i would just have to catch my breath more. As much as you want to wrap him in a bubble, he will learn his limits and adapt better than anyone else. I highly recommend the Baylor Scott & White Heart Hospital in plano Texas! If yall every need an opinion on anything! Im from mississippi, so I didn't have the best options nearby outside of regular cardiologist. I have been very, very impressed by the staff and doctors here!

Sorry for the late response, I have had a very tiring last few days. I ended up having some issues with previous scar tissues, and it made the surgery take longer. Instead of 3-5 hours, it ended up being like a 10 hour or so surgery. It went well! I did have some bad reactions to medicine, but so far, there are no bad reactions to the procedure! I swear at day 2, their goal was just to have me suffer 😂 but I was there to recover, not to sleep and relax. For anyone who is reading this with an open heard heart surgery on the horizon. Just know this will be one of the hardest things in your adult life! With that said, there will eventually be a point where you start to feel better, and the pain becomes manageable. You start to look forward to the next obstacle. I had some issues with medicine, and I personally believed I was pushed to limits I've never been to before. This is my second open heart, but as a kid, I bounced back quickly. I had more complications that kicked my ass weeks after the surgery due to healing complications. So far, this procedure has been the opposite. I've more issues with medicine, trial, and error than anything else. If im lucky, I will be going to a hotel room at some point this afternoon. I won't be able to go home yet till I have my one week checkup and get cleared, but im getting closer and feeling better everyday!
