I thought I'd write before I left for the hospital to let everyone know Bill had his surgery and is doing great. He got in around 1 pm and was done at 8:30 p.m He chose the Bilynx valve but, that one only goes up to 29 mm. After they got in they needed a 33 mm, so he ticks. I actually think this is what he originally wanted but wanted to at least try the experimental.
I have to say I am very glad yesterday is over. The sitting around waiting was very tough on Bill and the waiting for the family was draining. But the worst was seeing him after. I was warned by so many people of what to expect, and it still threw me. I can't wait to go today and see him up and around.
I want to thank everyone again for their support through this. I'm sure when Bill gets home next week he'll be writing to update how he feels, and I'm sure he'll have a million and two questions for all the people with mechanical valves. Thanks again. Julie
