I went back today for a few hours. Limited time and duties. Doc says to go at this SLOWLY and since its my heart and I only have one, he has my full and undivided attention! lol!!!

micro, did you experience "sundowning" and/or "ICU psychosis? It sounds as though my Mom went through a little bit more (not to diminish what you went through), as she did not even go to "step-down" for 8 or 9 days.

No, I didn't go to the Cleveland clinic, although they are a premier place for sure. I went to one of the best heart hospitals in Cincy, but I did not go there for that reason. That was above and beyond what procedure was to be performed and so a decision was made by my mrs. while I was on the table out cold and oblivious to anything. I have had a running battle with a leaking valve and multiple tears over some few years and they were going to go repair the latest tear which was leaking blood into my body.

So even though you were happy with your surgery and its reults with the Cincy Hospital, would you recommend the Cleveland Clinic? My brother needs serious help. Scripps in CA knew of his condition, implanted a pacemaker, but it is not enough. I am thinking of calling the Cleveland Clinic and picking their brains.

So, when I came to in recovery, I was informed I had a new artificial valve.

Was it a pig's valve? Don't answer if this is uncomfortable for you. (ohgod, what an operation!)

I do hope you guys finally resolve the homeless state you are in. Please forgive my faulty memory as it isn't as sharp as it once was. I'm thinking age might have something to do with that. lol!!!!!!

We are renting a lovely house in NV for the time being. I blame my faulty memory on medications. Nah, age has nothing to do with it. Age is not a gauge, always remember that!

I am very glad to see your presence and to know that you are still with us here at Rant2 with king froggy!

I am with my favorite people here! BTW, most people avoid me in real life. I'M KIDDING!!

YOU TAKE CARE, TOO, MICRO!

Hi and thank you kathy!

I went back today for a few hours. Limited time and duties. Doc says to go at this SLOWLY and since its my heart and I only have one, he has my full and undivided attention! lol!!!

No, I didn't go to the Cleveland clinic, although they are a premier place for sure. I went to one of the best heart hospitals in Cincy, but I did not go there for that reason. That was above and beyond what procedure was to be performed and so a decision was made by my mrs. while I was on the table out cold and oblivious to anything. I have had a running battle with a leaking valve and multiple tears over some few years and they were going to go repair the latest tear which was leaking blood into my body.

When inside they assessed that this valve was very weak and I was likely going to be right back there gain sooner rather than later so the question came up about replacing the entire valve and just be safe and good for a long time to come.

So, when I came to in recovery, I was informed I had a new artificial valve.

I have an outstanding cardiologist and trust him completely. That makes for excellent relations between doctor and patient and in my case, my life has been in his hands more than once.

I do hope you guys finally resolve the homeless state you are in. Please forgive my faulty memory as it isn't as sharp as it once was. I'm thinking age might have something to do with that. lol!!!!!!

I am very glad to see your presence and to know that you are still with us here at Rant2 with king froggy!

You guys take care and be well!

the best,
