Well folks I did it. A week ago tomorrow at *8:30 AM at Seattle's Swedish-Providentia Heart center Dr. Joe Tipley took me over. He did a MV repair thinking that will be enough. There is still a small leak in the AV but again in his opinion it wasn't worth replacing. This is exactly what I wanted..Conservative Surgery..
I was in till Monday because of the four hour drive home. That went well and uneventful except I think it is why today (tues) was so hard.
Did OK the first 24 hours then went into AFib which got the staff all excited. That was taken care of so now all I have is one hell of a lot of pain expecially when a sneeze or cough sneakes up. Today was a hard day, lots of fatigue and pain but I have made it.
Did any of you swing back amd forth from hot sweats to cold feet and back? Or have crazy psychedelic dreams while under meds? Boy do I ever have some weird visions.
I understand about the pillow thing. Mine is bright red and heart shaped. It is a life saver.
Medications? My Gott in Himmel I have thirteen to take every morning. Foutunately most drop off after another week.
Well folks I guess I am one of the gang now. Knowing you are out there was and is a good feeling. Thank you Oh yes, Valerie my wife did just fine. She couldnt find a handy computer sdo iddn't email the forum.
