Hello,
I am so glad I found this site. My dad is having a VR on 4/14. His aV is less the 1cm because of calcifcation(sp?) He is not so worried about the surgery, put the pain associated with the recovery. Any words of encourgement I can pass along from people who have been there ?
Any other information people can pass along to us we would love to have it. We are all worried. Surgeon was very patient when we went and answered all our questions and of course went over worst case....infection, stroke,etc.Explained it should only take about 2-2.5 hours and hope to have him up walking with in12-14hours , a few steps.
Please include us in your prayers.
Thanks,
Kangy
