Well, it's been 5 lovely years since I had my aortic valve replaced, with one CABG....no complaints whatsovever. In the last 5 years, I've run 3 marathons, 4 half marathons (those include the Goofy Challenge at Disneyworld where we run the half on Saturday morning, then run the full marathon on Sunday morning), played with my 4 grandchildren, and now wait impatiently for my retirement this year....as the saying goes, life is good!
