I have a date, this Friday. My bovine mitral valve is not quite going to see its tenth birthday which is in September of this year. So nine-plus years in, I'm getting a nice new mechanical valve. You will see me here on this board often as I learn to manage the Coumadin and testing and all that. I am weirdly not as nervous this time as last, maybe because I know what to expect from OHS. (Yes, I know each one is different). Thanks for all your help last time, and send me some good thoughts if you will on May 18.

Will be right there with ya! My surgery was moved to Friday the 18th! I am getting my 1st OHS. Getting an Edwards Bovine Intuity aortic valve and 2 bypasses. Prayers to you. Hope to see you on the board afterward for certain.

Sorry that you must go through this again. I was told that the mitral flesh valve lasts 10 years also.
It was scary time for me.
