2 year anniversary of OHS

[KLS39]

Today marks two years since my OHS for aortic valve replacement and an ascending aorta as well as repair of my innominate artery. I am grateful to have reached this milestone but I am also broken hearted because my dad died unexpectedly yesterday when he and my step-mom were trying to get home from Mexico. I had just visited him there and saw that he was struggling, weaker than when I saw him at Christmas. He went into the hospital with pneumonia the day I left. He seemed better and rented a portable oxygen machine to come home but he didn't make it. He lost consciousness before he boarded the plane. I don't really feel like celebrating this day this year.
Thanks for listening.

Hi

sorry for your loss, but happy for your anniversary. I lost my father (expected) and my wife (unexpected) before I reached my first year anniversary, so I just wish to say that life goes on for you and its your health that's most important. No matter how difficult grief is you need to return your attention to you as much as you can. Of course your time now is very acute and proximal. Take it one step at a time.

Best Wishes

Very sorry to hear the news of your loss. It takes time to grieve but remember to share stories of all the good memories. It will be his legacy but it's up to you to maintain. Congratulations on your two-year anniversary.
