Hi, this is my first posting to your site. I have read all the post op discussions and I don't see anything that exactly fits my current questions.
My husband, Bobby, age 56 had the Ross Procedure on 12-4. Things seem to be going okay most of the time. However, he does have the eyes problem that I have read many of you relate to. He also has a pain in his lower right side (which is now over a week of pain). We saw the surgeon, he didn't seem to think it was anything to worry about.
Also, we were prescribed Vicadin for the pain. This seemed to interfer with sleep, so we went off Vicadin and started using Tylenol 3. This seems to help take the edge off the discomfort without the sleep interference.
The other feedback we need is on the "clicking" of the sternum. What is normal? Does it ever stop?
Well, I guess that good for a start. Thank you.
