This is the first time that i have spoken to people apart from my family and close freinds regarding my Op. July 8th 2008 I had a Aortic Vavle replacement. A few weeks before my Op I went onto the net to find out more and found you guy's. I read some of the stories which helped me deal with some of my issues. The Op went well and I was out in 12 days. A week later I wasnt feeling to well and was told I looked like a ghost and was in pain.A week after getting out my sister took me to the hospital and I was back having another Op cause they found over litre of blood in my heart and didn't know why, they thought my valve was leaking. My Doctor told me I was a lucky man cause if I didn't go in when I did I would not have seen the end of the weekend. It's difficult to explain but I felt like a different person the second time. I felt better in a certain way than I did after the first Op. my recovery was a bit longer and hard work.
Anyway the reason Im writing it's been 8 months and I would like to hear from anyone regarding their fitness program. I'v been doing a lot of walking over the last 4 months and just resently started doing weights. I'm 48yrs old and it's been many yrs since I'v done any workouts.
