Not much different than my last report. Everything continues to go great. Got off the warfarin and had my 2nd glass of red wine in the same day but still cannot eat pork chops without getting a terrible feeling of guilt :) for my blood relative who bravely gave his or her life so I could borrow a valve. I'm half-way serious about the new found aversion to pork... oh well.

Have added a weight routine to my walking / jogging but have been rudely surprised that my legs don't feel ten years younger like my heart does. I guess I will switch to biking and save my knees.

Was so happy to have kept 15 lbs off post surgery but it seems a few have somehow crept back on me. I'm sure that the recent doubling of my wine ration has nothing to do with that :)

My sternum area is still a bit tender and I certainly know I had surgery when I first get up in the morning but all in all I feel great. Numbness in the right leg is about the same and will let them scan it in July if it has not gotten better by then.

Also, please remember to refer ANYONE to me who has OWS procrastination syndrome. If I cannot convince or scare them into doing it, I can always given them the world-class rationalizations and stupid excuses I used to delay my surgery for a few years longer than I should have. :)

Best wishes and thanks to everyone here, regardless of which side of the mountain you are on !
 
Sounds like life is getting back to normal for you Dan and we're glad to hear it. Good thing you got a pig valve and not a cow valve- that would limit your menu choices even more!:) Keep moving whether on a bike or your legs and let us know how the numbness factor is going.
 
Glad you are doing well, keep it up, best wishes for a continude good recovery.
 
Good to hear from you and that you are doing well. Keep up the good work.

Good luck with the leg!
 
Sounds like things are moving in the right direction!!!!

Funny thing about the pig for me........ I found that it tasted even better, it's the source of bacon and it can save your life, my kind of animal. Good luck on the road ahead:D
 
Im right at that 3 month celebration myself-
SO...
CHEERS!!



And I also cannot eat Beef anymore
as I now have a bovine valve, God bless all the animals!!
