Hello Pam
Sorry I am so slow to reply but I am not up to the computer much. I had Aortic Valve replacement. It isn't so bad. The pain is manageable and really not a worry. The first hours after surgery aren't great but become a faded memory really fast.
When are they doing your cath? It will give you the best idea of what is going to happen. Do you have a bicuspid valve? Ironically, I was 53 when they told me I would have AVR but the cath showed I could wait . So I had the surgery 3 years later.
Well, if I can be of any help let me know. Be sure and read everything you can on this site. It is a big help when you are going through all this.
Fondly,
Karen
