new heart valve

[Steve Donlon]

I got a new aortic heart valve on Tues and came home yesterday. They have come a long way and are getting better all the time. A borescope device went up one leg through my artery and the new valve went up my left leg through my other artery They come in four sizes depending on how large your femoral artery is. So you don't worry about getting a new aortic valve if you need one. They also last longer now. I waited 2 years for one, so I really needed one, I could not think straight sometimes due to a lack of O2, but they wanted to wait for as long as I good manage until it became severe. I never thought I would feel this good again. Thanks to the Man upstairs. I'm blessed it went so well. I definitely don't feel like I'm 78 anymore.

Follow the doc’s instructions to the letter! My father didn’t and paid a dire price. God bless.

I got a TAVR a year ago. Pretty amazing that you stay overnight and walk out the next day with almost no restrictions. Beats the hell out of cracking your chest! What a great Christmas present for you!
