Wow Timâ€”arenâ€™t our bodies incredible for how they compensate for such things for so long! You will probably feel so much more energy with this new valve (eventually, go easy in recovery ðŸ˜‰). Wishing you all the best! â¤ï¸â€ðŸ©¹ðŸ™ðŸ»

Anna Rakowicz

Tim that's great to hear. I agree with Sue about our bodies. They are amazing. My very calcified bicuspid valve was so horrible, it's a wonder I was even alive. On one echo prior to my surgery, they said they couldn't determine if it was bicuspid or tricuspid. Anyway God... Read more.

My recovery was no where near what I had imagined, with Dr Roselli at CC. Just had my 3 month check up there, all good. You will be happy when it is done. Best wishes!

Valerie Allen

I think someone else on here is the same day -Carmen?

Carmen P

Yes, Valerie and Tim, I'm also scheduled for August 23th with Dr. Roselli. Just saw Tim's post. Guess I'll see you there. Valerie, you can tell me if there are hair dryers in the rooms.

Tim Carpenter

Yes Valarie it is Carmen I just saw that she is asking if the clinic has hair driers thank you for your prayers I appreciate it very much

Carmen P

13th, not 23rd. Should have looked before posting.

Tim Carpenter

Donâ€™t know about dryers but my wife is gonna be able to stay with me in the step down rooms we are very excited about that

Tim Carpenter

They told us there will be a bed for her and a shower in the room that sounds great

Carmen P

I know....who worries about their hair when having heart surgery.

Carmen P

We've been told the same about the room and I'm happy that my husband will be able to stay to help me. Hence, the dryer question. He was able to stay with me for the first valve replacement and is a Husband Hero and a great help to me.

Tim Carpenter

That is great my first time ohs but Iâ€™m ready to feel great

Patricia Miller

There is a long fold out couch in each room. The rooms are pretty spacious. Very clean. Most have views. Large windows were good for my soul. My husband and two adult daughters stayed at the nearby Residence Inn. 5 min walk. They would take shuttle at night to return... Read more.

Hey Tim, I'm new here so I'm just catching up on your story. I see that your surgery is in TWO days. I also have not had any symptoms (that I can tell, anyway). But I'm interested to see what happens after surgery and if I can tell a difference... Read more.
