Wednesday 9/7--6:00 am surgery

[SCCWS]

Going in day after tomorrow for AVR. I still feel great, luckily, but I am glad to be going in to start on the road to recovery. I have had none of the symtoms except for declining numbers on the echo through the years. At 63 I chose the tissue valve because it appears the next time, if there is one, surgery will be less intrusive as technology continues to advance. Talk to you next week on the post surgery side......................

Sending you all best wishes for successful surgery and bump free, easy recovery.
Please let us know how you are doing when you are able.
I, too, chose tissue valve and am very, very happy with that choice......four years later.
Godspeed......

You sound ready and prepared. Best wishes to you and focus on yourself during recovery.

If you feel great now, chances are that you will bounce back soon enough after surgery. Best wishes !!
