Hi everyone and thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
I posted first at my thread of the difficult choice of which valve a couple of days ago but noted this thread today.
To give you a recap:
Waking up from surgery was fantastic with my beatiful wife by my side - when my surgeon came by to see how I was doing after waking up I just had a big smile on my face. Had some problems with nauseousness due to the pain killers for a while but working with the nurses I got a nice cocktail that resolved the problem for me. I felt absolutely terrible for two days after my first surgery and was expecting the same but once they started treatment with drugs against nauseousness I realised that the problem could be resolved - it was just a question of finding the right mix.
After 6 days I got transfered to a convalescent home. I am getting stronger and stronger - under the circumstances it feels just amazing. My biggest problem is I have a hard time sleeping due to severe pain between the shoulders - it's a re-run from first time as well so much expected but talk about minor problem - I have found a good masseur that is helping me to losen it up and I try to stretch a lot. I hope to come back home next week.
Looking at my valvechoice-thread I found a late link that gave me a small scare but the way I feel I am just getting more and more confident that the final valve and surgery was better than world class. Comparing recovery time with first time it feels I have gotten an upgrade from 1.1 to 11.9 this time - I was in pretty bad shape then though. It is not a question of hindrances, it is more to use the brakes so that I don't overdo the post op training.
The strong support/thoughts/prayers from all members has been VERY helpful - going into surgery with that kind of support felt fantastic. Important aspect is that it has opened my heart a lot to my fellow pationets in surgery.
Regards,
Swede
