Hey Everybody:
I am not sure how things are working with the new system, although I certainly was so new with the old one that I didn't have that one figured out yet anyway.
I am looking forward to aortic valve replacement on March 10 at the Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Eric Roselli. We will be heading up from Cincinnati (four-ish hour drive) on Sunday March 7 for pre-op testing on Monday morning. I hope to spend Tuesday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (avoiding all other people and not touching any surfaces with my hands)
The plan is for a bovine valve, although I have not yet discussed this with Dr. Roselli, just Dr. Stewart, my cardiologist up there.
My current state of mind is good although I am having a little trouble sleeping. My level of anxiety reminds me very much of the anticipation of a big race. (I am a distance runner) I hope that my athletic training pays off in pacing myself to a smooth recovery. We'll see.
Happy trails.
