I'm Home!!!!!!!!!
It turned out to be an echo problem and not a valve problem! A re-do of the echo and a great report from their top cardiologist and I was on my way!
My left arm is banged up a bit because of some issues from the arterial line, but other than some minor things I am feeling GREAT! I had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get home and I had absolutely zero problem doing it. In fact, I had to prove to the hospital physical therapists/occupational therapists that I could do this before they allowed me home ( I was able to do it just 2 days after the surgery
) I honestly can't believe I was laying on a table 6 days ago having my aortic valve and aneurysm repaired. I feel incredible.
Special thanks to Dr. Beaver and everyone at Shands who helped me immensely.
This site was a great source of information and positive reinforcement. The members are truly made of gold. Look for my informative write-up soon! I am going to try to create a source of information for younger patients going through this.
Take care everyone!!
