ptruckThanks everyone. I should be home Sunday, or Monday at the latest. The forum is blocked at the hospital so I won't get back until then.
All I'm thinking about now is Paras doughnut post

ptruckI wanted to give everyone an update.
The surgery went well. I just needed a repair of the valve, so a 4-6 hour surgery turns out to be only 2.5 hours. I spent 18 hours in ICU then headed up to a regular room. I'm occasionally in atrial fibrillation, which is normal after this surgery. I was released and home Monday afternoon. Thank you for everyones prayers.

erj_pilotJust seeing this as well. Prayers for a full recovery! Hang on to that heart pillow when you're standing up and don't forget your breathing exercises. YOU WILL BE FINE as long as you follow your post-surgical PT regimen.
