Glad to hear that you got a reprieve Laurie,
but do keep an eye out for any changes in your symptoms and report them to your Cardiologist / Surgeon.
There is an old saying on VR.com that goes
"The worse things get, the faster they get worse"
which especially applies to the Aortic Valve.
Enjoy your 'time off', but remember to "Be Prepared".
Best Wishes,
'AL Capshaw'
