About Me

About eight months ago my cardiologist had said we'll just keep an eye on it & down the road you might need a valve replaced and now I have a new cardiologist, am on Medicare and I need both my aortic & mitral valve replaced! Is it typical that you stay in the hospital for seven days? I live alone so I sure don't want to come home to an empty house after my surgery.
