Hello Everyone.... Aortic dissection here (my christmas present)

[pumpkinhead]

Hey guys and girls. Just wanted to introduce myself, new to the board. I am 35 and from the Ohio area. Just had a aortic dissection over Christmas with mechanical valve. So far I have not been able to return to bed and stuck sleeping in the recliner with a thumping in my throat and a ticking in my head. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or going thru the same thing and just wanna chat!

Hey pumpkinhead,
How is everything going now? Able to sleep in your bed yet? I think by this point life should be returning to semi-normal.

In light of your last gift from Santa...a stocking full of coal doesn't sound that bad!
Good luck with your continued recovery and normalization of your life! What kind of valve did you get?
