I am laughing so hard, that I'm crying!! Not because of the pain and the crap you went through, but by the way you recounted your emotions and anger as you were going through it. My 8 year anniversary was yesterday. I did not go through the tube issues and bleeding as you did. But, describing...

Hiya cwilk. Sorry you're having to go through this again. I can tell that you are really struggling with this decision because of the military. One would deduct, that you are a very physically active person. And one would assume that the reason you would be medically discharged, is because of...

YEAH!!! Been lookin for ya. Now you will find yourself becoming an expert on your vitals!!! lol. I had excel spreadsheets made up on my laptop to log all the stuff I was tracking. Happy holidays to you, and a speedy and successful recovery.

You're welcome Murmur. I'm really happy to see you are getting feedback from those who have been through it. You will be in my prayers, and I look forward to hearing about your successful recovery.

Hi murmur. I was in the same boat as you. Bicuspid aortic valve. My only advantage over your situation, is that I hardly had any time to think about my decision, lol. I had a routine physical on 8/29, an echocardiogram on 9/12 and I had my valve replaced on 9/18/14. Through the echo, they...

I can only tell you my experience, as everyone else has good and bad stories. I'm coming on 6 weeks post surgery. It was in my initial meeting with the surgeon I had chosen, when he told me that he only does the full open chest, and that I wanted a less evasive one, that he could refer me to...

Oops. I guess I shoulda included that my heart rate went down to 75-85 range. Still have irregular beats, but fewer.

My post-op heart rate after being released from the hospital was 99 to 113, and I was experiencing an abnormal heart rhythm. At my first appointment with the cardiologist, he changed my blocker from Metroprol to Carvedilol. But that's me, just thought I would through it out there. Also, do not...

Live long and prosper!!! Congrat's.
