You will be ready for another trip soon, Dan!
Great picture. Sounds like a fun trip. God bless you.
Wonderful words of encouragement and of being a survivor and triumphing over the obstacles in life. I feel the same about this group, and I find strength in othersรขโฌโข encouragement and stories of recovery as I also get close to my surgery date. You are a true warrior and inspiration...

Thank you for sharing! You are an amazing fighter! I just checked out your story, we are on the same schedule, in different hospital though.:) I will have cath on 3/20 and surgery next day on 3/21. Will pray for both of our surgeries!
Looks like so much fun.. Best wished for a very successful surgery & recovery! More travels ahead!!
Great photo

Hi Dan, there are sometimes physical aspects of the valve which are not aligned with TAVR, as I understand it. Examples: Bicuspid Aortic Valve (not sure if always true), valve previously damaged by illness, aortic aneurysm, perhaps of a certain size. Your surgeon should give you this info once youรขโฌโขve...

I love this outline. You have done your homework now its time the surgeon addresses your questions based on facts you present. An informed patient is a good patient. Good luck.
Valerie and Richard thank you for the information and the support. Now it is just witing until Friday and maybe working a little more on my chart.
Yes, I agree with Valerie and Grace. Bicuspid valve along with age limits TAVR for the first surgery. But, it can happen for the second surgery. Yes, give yourself a wide berth for healing. I love your chart, Dan. Those I know get off the pain killers ASAP.
Keep us posted after you meet with your surgeon.
I like your feel normal row ! Definitely two plus on the sternotomy options .... But you know that is not a bad thing if there is durability of the repair.
