Five days post op and I AM HOME!

[Sharon4495]

Just got home a bit ago. The valve replacment was very successful. Turns out of old valve has two leaflets calcified together making it a bi leaflet. First few days TOUGH. You were all right...I don't remember the breathing tube only that it was "there." Ended up getting some extra blood day three after surgery and that was the big turn around in my recovery. I'll be updating later...my husband says I have to rest....not a bad idea actually. Everyone thanks for the support and advice...I'll be posting soon!

take it easy, and tell your husband he needs to rest, too - I always think it must be just as bad for the spouses, pacing in the waiting room while you lie asleep, not knowing or caring what's happening.

Rest, rest, rest!

Yep, that's right! Next time hubby tells you rest make sure you tell him to rest too.

Glad to hear your home and doing well........now just don't push it - it will come.

Be good to yourself.

Welcome home Sharon! I'm sure that being at home makes you feel a whole lot better. Take it easy on yourself & try not to get depressed or frustrated if you can't do very much -- healing takes time, so be patient!
