On the Mend!

[Rod]

Hello,

I'm new to this site and ecstatic that I found it!

I had a Bentall procedure and a mechanical valve implanted Sept 21/05 to correct aortic stenosis and an enlarged aorta. I've been home now since Monday and feel better each day.

It feels great to be on the mend and have this website (and all your experiences) as such a useful resource!!!!

All the best,
Rod

Well hello there. You should be spanked for not joining before your surgery! :D

Welcome Rod! Sorry you had to "go it alone" for your surgery. Not to worry...there are lots of folks here to help you with the recovery.

Glad to hear your surgery went well & your well on your way to recovery. Like you I didn't find this place until after surgery - what an incredible wealth of information & support you'll find here.
Don't be skittish about asking questions - the only dumb one is the one you don't ask.
