Re: Major Announcement - Open Heart Surgery
My wife had heart surgery about two years ago because of a mass. Ended up removing the mass and replacing the aortic valve with a pig valve. My chiropractor was telling me how much pain she would have during healing. As it turned out she had no pain whatsoever from the surgery. Healing from that was great. She has many other medical issues unrelated to the heart surgery. She has had no problems from that surgery. Best of luck to you. Jon

Dick, a couple of my friends have had similar surgery and they talk about how much better they felt after the surgery, with more energy. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and looking forward to seeing you at the next Daytona Show!

Re: Major Announcement - Open Heart Surgery
My dad went through this a year ago, and us doing much better now. I will warn you he was pretty ---- off at everyone's cheery attitude at the hospital post-op though.. lol. Funny how everyone treats you so nice and empathizes, yet they really don't know hiw you feel because they were not the ones to go through the procedure. Recovery took quite awhile in his case, just need to follow the doctor's orders and stay vigilant with dietary, PT, exercise and rest and the energy and wellness will return in due time. Positivity is key.
Best wishes on your procedure. You have alot of folks pulling for you.
