Good morning all you fabulous brave people. I have a meeting with my surgeon in two days but am anxious to get my head around what life will be like after the surgery if all goes well.
I have a 5.1X5.3 ascending aorta aneurysm. and am the proud owner of a st judes aortic valve. Has any one out there had surgery to repaire this and what are the restrictions afterwards. I understand there are restrictions on "heavy lifting" but can not find any solid numbers on just what heavy lifting means. is it 50 lbs 100 lbs? I often move allot of photo equipment for my job and carry heavy cameras when I am shooting. ( photographer) If I make it through this alive that will be enough, but need to be realistic if I have to start planning for a change of career. Thanks in advance for your help.
Live long, and prosper.
