While being treated for congestive hert failure, they found that I had a lot of calcifation of my aortic valve, so much tht it did not close properly and allowed backflow while pumping.

Long story short, they had to decide method of replacement, either open heart or via a cathertization method called TAVR.

They did a regular cath and found my coronary arteries were "wide open", so the TAVR method was approve.

I asked whether pork or beef valve, pork. So, when I eat a a porkchop, I am now a cannibal...LOL

Had to spend several extra days in the hospital because too much fluid was coming out of the chest tube.

Let me out yesterday.

Feel good, need a couple/few weeks to get rested and healed.

Thanks to all for your well wishes and for reaching out to me directly.

Means more than I can express.

Now, let's drink!!
 
They are excellent. Removed a tumor and half of my dad’s kidney robotically and discharged him 30 hours after they admitted him. I was stunned.
 
As part of the eval, they made a 3D model of my aorta and tested it for fit and seal. So very cool.
