Well I am finally getting out of the waiting room into the OR. Tomorrow, after watching my condition since 2013, I will have open heart surgery to place a Carpentier-Edward’s Perimount aortic valve in my heart. I started this process after my yearly echo showed my bicuspid valve had moved to severe stenosis.
I interviewed 2 different surgeons and believe I chose an excellent, detailed oriented surgeon with many years of experience plus he had a fellowship at Cleveland Clinic. He has a team who have been with him for 7 years and they are a well oiled machine! I am confident that what ever happens I will be well taken care of by all the staff.
I want to thank this community for all the insights and information you so generously offered through my process. Knowledge is power! I will be happy to give some feedback about my experience once I am feeling up to it. I am feeling very positive and relieved that this is coming to fruition. See you on the other side!
