I kind of remember reading somewhere that when someone has a major heart surgery, like a valve replacement its often normal for them to think about dying more often than other people... I dont exactly believe that but i worry about it all the time. Im 38 years old, had my surgery when i was 34, just got married and life is good. Sometimes i stop and think what if something went wrong or what if something crazy happened to my valve. Most of the stories i have read on here over the years have always been positive and that always makes me feel better but sometimes i just think about dying to much and it really bothers me. I know there is a fellow on the board named Al that has had his valve for 35+ years and that always makes me feel awesome. I run everyday, i lift weights, extremely active, heck most people wouldnt even have a clue ive ever had surgery. Anyways, just wondering what others think and if im somewhat alone thinking these thoughts? :cool2:
