I had aortic valve replacement surgery performed on June 5, 2012. I am 67 years of age. What is a reasonable time (weeks ?) and how long should it take for the sternum to heal? Getting impatient!!
I will undergo aortic valve replacement surgery in a few days. I am scheduled for pre-admission testing, where I would meet the anesthesiologist. I wonder what questions to ask him/her! Any suggestions?
