Preparing to check in the hospital. Surgery in 3 hours for aortic valve replacement. Can't wait to feel better. Take care everyone...and see you all soon.
 
Hi all,

Surgery went great. Took 4 hours and they did mini sternotomy, so I have about 6 inches incision. Woke up after 11 hours and panicked a bit because I can't breath, was gagging with the tube still in. The first night was the worse, woke up around 3am to an excruciating pain, then again around 5am. After that, everything went smooth. I walked 3 times already and hitting 1000ml on spyrometry. Hope it stays this way, drain tubes might be coming off today.

Thanks for this great community, it helped me a lot.
