DaleG's AVR is TOMORROW, April 28

[DaleG]

I just recently found this forum!! It has helped with some of my fears. Thanks to all who have shared their stories. I am scheduled for AVR (mechanical tomorrow morning). Greenville, South Carolina. I was born with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve that is in need of replacement. Otherwise, totally healthy...no blocked arteries, no high blood pressure, only the bad valve! Hope to be back soon with an update. God Bless.

Thank You all for your prayers. I know they were heard. I did not qualify for the Minimally Invasive procedure. My Dr. said because of the size of my chest cavity that he felt the results would be better with the sternotomy. I am 39 yrs old, 6'5 287lbs.My Dr. told me that since I was born with BAV, I don't even know what it's like to be normal. I'm looking forward to "normal" I will post updates as soon as I can.

 

[Eva]

Me, too, Dale I am praying that you will enjoy being 'normal' soon and enjoy your new you for many long years to come. I look forward to hearing from you how 'normal' feels to you Again, lots of prayers that all go well.
