I had a single bypass and a tissue replacement of my aeortic valve on Feb 21. Leading up to the surgery I had questions about mech vs. tissue, cummidian and thoughts ans comments I found on this forum. I got a lot of very encouraging and I must say loving advise. I want to thank everyone involved in this forum. Those of you that organize and maintain must realize the service you provide. Those of you that contribute and make it alive and real are truly appreciated. My thanks to all of you.
As of today, I am doing well. I had a few complications with GI shutdown, TIAs and some depression, but am now well on my back to being a 67 year old fart. Rehab has not been as fast as it was after my first eleven years ago, but there is little doubt in my mind that I have enough years left to justify the "suffering".
I chose to go with the tissue valve but lets face it. I will not ever know if that was teh "right" choice, nor do I plan to contemplate any other outcomes.
Again, thanks to everyone on the froum, thanks to the great staff at Mayo Clinic.
