Go me! It's my valversary! (Feb 1)

[DavesMom]

Hi folks,

Haven't posted for a while but just wanted to say that today's my 13th valversary! Yup, 13 years ago at this time I was STILL in surgery after an early morning start. (Pretty long sugery because of "oopsie!" complications due to scar tissue.)

I'm being watched for an ascending aortic aneurysm (right now 4.4 cm) but otherwise have to say I've been pretty lucky. Best of luck to those of you recent valvers and I hope that you're going strong after 13 years just like I am.

Best wishes and hope everyone's well.

Thanks, everyone. Man, it is incredible to think it's been such a long time. It was my second surgery and I'm just praying the aneurysm doesn't cause a third.

I was 42 when I had the operation so I'm just hoping my valve never has to be replaced. After all, we're good buddies by now. : )

Again, my best wishes to all other valvers!

Cheers!
