Hi everyone! I would like to ask you all who have had a valve replaced a question. How did you feel 8 months post op?
My husband had his aorta replaced with st jude valve plus dacron graft with root replacement, and pacemaker 4 days after surgery. Everything seems to be doing ok but he is always tiered, even shortly after a good nights sleep. I was just wondering if this is par for the coarse? He doesn,t get short of breath or fatigued in doing steps or anything like that he just doesn,t have the energy he had before surgery. Also on a very personal note he seems to have lost his lust for life, including things that he used to enjoy. (if you know what i mean) he has been on an antidepresant med for the past year but this all seemed to start in the last few months.
He was a the doctors today and they did alot of blood work but we won,t know anything for a few days.
Thanks so much for your time and listening
