Hello from the other side!

[J-Dub]

Hi all,

I haven't posted much but got a ton of good info from this site prior to my surgery. On Wed I had aortic root replacement by Dr. Trento at cedars Sinai in Los Angeles an things went very well. In fact, I was able to walk under my own power from the ICU to the cardiac rehab unit! I'm feeling better every day an looking forward to continuing to get better. I'm using the spirometer and trying to sit up and walk a lot, eating solid foods, and getting good rest( about an hour at a time).

Glad to be over the mountain. I'll post more updates when I can.

Thanks,
J-dub

Congrats. It is a good feeling to be on the other side and start to feel yourself recovering. Sounds like you are doing all the right thinks - walk, spirometer, rest and eat. Everyone is different, but about week 4 after surgery I really began to feel like my old self, only better. Good luck and keep us posted.

Welcome to the other side and keep on doing what you are doing. A very good start to recovery IMO.

Congrats. Looking forward in my opinion is the best way. I think it made me stronger faster. Just remember to listen to your body and don't over do it.
