It's over!

My husbands AVR and one bypass were done on Tuesday, the 12th. He was moved from intensive care to a regular room about 2:00 pm today and is doing very well. His was first thing yesterday and it only took about 3 hrs. The aortic valve was heavily calcified and replaced with the St Jude's. The surgeon said he should feel much better than before when he gets recuperated. No one had any idea that he had a blockage until the heart cath on Mon. An artery in back of the heart (something with the word "obtuse" in it) was 90% blocked so that bypass was done as well.

He retired last Thursday. Hopefully he'll have a lot of good years ahead!

C - It is great to hear about your husband's successful surgery. And it is especially good news since he had that blockage and it was discovered and fixed before it became a real problem. Also, congratulations on his retirement. I guess that means he can take his time with recovery. Good luck to you and him.
