Hello my heart Community. Wanted to give a quick update. My surgery went well on 3-7. Was discharged on 3-12 from the Cleveland Clinic. I am home and resting. The CC team did a fantastic job caring for me. I want to thank everyone for the prayers, encouragement and kind... Read more.
Best wishes for a continued recovery. I’m about to go 4/15 and have a bicuspid as well😉 and at CCF.
Wow. Only 5 days in the hospital. Congratulations. I thought I was sending you a note, but looks like I posted it in the news feed.
Hey Rick, Congratulations, 🎉🎈🎊 Welcome to the other side. Take Good Care! 💔❤️‍🩹❤️
Wonderful to hear. Welcome to recovery! 🪖❤️‍🩹👍
Best Wishes for your recovery!! Glad it went so well for you!
Best of luck to you! I’m about 6 weeks behind you!
You’ll do well Rick. You and your team have prepared for this. Praying for your successful surgery and recovery. God bless you 🙏❤️
Good luck Rick! Your story is very similar to my husbands. He is scheduled 1 month behind you. It will be nice to be on the other side soon.
Great place to be. Best Wishes. 🙏🏼
Your support pup is beautiful!! We will be thinking of you and wishing you well! Keep in touch when you can.
You are on the exact same path I took last year. Dr. Lars Svensson is the best in the world. I just finished cardiac rehabilitation today and all is well!
Four years ago today Dr. Svensson and his team did their thing with me... when I was 67. Fantastic experience. My bicuspid turned out to be a unicuspid, and like you and Sean I also had my ascending aorta repaired. My 9" scar is barely visible... though I wouldn't have... Read more.
I had a similar surgery nearly 7 years ago. It's definitely doable yet no picnic in the park. I'm doing quite well now so I wish you the best. Godspeed.
Wishing you all the best! You are in great hands in Cleveland and your beautiful golden will be wonderful support after!!! ❤️
All, thanks for the kind words, prayers and advice!! T-1 day!! ❤️
Support teams who have paws are the best! Prayers for tomorrow! 🙏🏻
Prayers out to you today for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery 🙏
