5 Years since repair.....should I care?

[camgough]

Today is 5 years since my aneurysm was replaced, my aortic valve was repaired and I had many complications. Sounds bad, but I can and should forget this date since my Feb 2015 aortic valve replacement has left me feeling good! Out with the old and in with the new! 2 OHS in 5 years is too many!

Think of it this way. . . 2 OHS in 5 years was just right to get your issues fixed. Now you CAN get on with your life, on your own terms.

Glad this one is going well for you, cam.

If you were like me, if you didn't have the first OHS, you would have only had <5 months. Good to hear you're fixed now. However, with me, one thing is fixed and then another blows out, put at least we're still in the game

 

[camgough]

Still in the game is the main thing!

Good reason for cake, though!

I had one 2 years ago (valve sparing aneurysm) and doubt I will make it to 5 years before I will have to have my valve replaced. It started leaking right after the surgery and gets worse every appointment. Whatever, it is what it is. I still feel lucky that I have something that can be fixed. Every day above ground is a great day!
