Hi all.....
I am back home now....after 8 days in the hospital. Surgery went well (OnX valve and dacron graft of aorta), but developed a pneumothorax post-op which required another tube placement. Also discovered an odd arrythmia which is being followed by Elect. Phys. dept. (no A-fib though!)
All in all I am feeling pretty good now at 12 days post-op. I am able to do my walks and breathing exercises. Able to sleep well......trying to adjust to being at home all the time.
I wanted to thank all of you who were so supportive and gave good advice in my pre-surgery phase......it was very comforting.
