Awesome news! A little late, but wishing you many more years!
Mechanical. I don't think ANY tissue valves can last nearly that long.Tissue or Mechanical?
It depends on how you define 'unbroken.' If you just say 'mechanical valve,' it may not matter all that much if this refers to two different ones.Practically a rookie compared to some. Congrats just the same!
I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m still annoyed that my aorta wrecked any chance at a long unbroken streak.
Thanks. This means a lot to me.Congratulations and an inspiration to all of us! Thank you for your insights and activeness in this forum, your knowledge is greatly appreciated!
Not late at all. Compared to 28 years with this thing, it's nothing.Awesome news! A little late, but wishing you many more years!
I'm kind of glad I wasn't presented with the choices that you had to work through.
Dick, those thoughts must have haunted you.
in context of Dicks last line and reading his response I think its important (well I personally think its life critical) to not let things haunt you. By let I mean when your subconscious drags them up, examine them see them for what they are and know that the ultimate truth is that every day is a gift. True Irony would be to obsess over how long your heart valve will last only to be hit by a car crossing a road texting to someone how worrrriiiieeeedddd you are about your valve.Dick, those thoughts must have haunted you.
