Had my day of testing…. considering the circumstances I think I received the best news I could have hoped for. My aortic valve does have to be replaced but my heart is in great shape, no blockages or any other issues. I inherited my aortic valve issue from my father. 10% of the population has a bicuspid ( two leaflets instead of 3) aortic valve and I fall in that 10%. According to my surgeon bicuspid valves are prone to calcification. I’ll be sceduled for surgery sometime in the next 30 or so days. The surgeon told me I’ll do great and I’ll feel like a totally new person. Talking with him definitely eased my mind about it. Praise God!!

Sure would like to have you around for another 30+ years or so.

Sure would like to have you around for another 30+ years or so. He recommended a cow valve over the mechanical and Tavr options. The cow valves last 15-20 years. The Tavr option is less invasive, They don’t have to open your chest up, they go through the groin and you’re back to regular activities in two weeks but he ruled it out for me because of my age and they only have about 4 years of data on them, they’re using them in the elderly and patients they deem aren’t good candidates for open heart surgery. He did tell me if the cow valve goes bad in 15 years they’d replace it with the Tavr style.

Well, I have a date... surgery is scheduled for Wednesday the 22nd. I have to be there @5:30 for prep and surgery @8:00. The procedure is supposed to take about 4 hours. If everything goes well I'll be out of the hospital Saturday or Sunday. If I said nerves and fear of the unknown weren't setting in I'd be lying. I keep trying to tell myself my father did well with the same surgery back in '99 and the procedure has to have improved since then.

Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers! Dr. Said I did great. He also found a hole in my heart after he removed the valve, said I was born with it and the bicuspid valve. They said I definitely am not the norm when it comes to PT and OT, most people 24 hrs after surgery they have to practically carry them around this wing of the hospital to get em moving whereas I’m making laps. Other than my chest being sore I feel great!
