So I'm going under the knife, soon...

Good luck, heal fast. We're kinda in the same boat over here, my were needs the same surgery as he was born with a bicuspid valve.

Will it be open or cardiac catheter?

Good luck!

At this point, I'm thinking it's going to be open. Because they're replacing the valve completely. It's not closing all the way, and is causing some regurgitation, which is causing regurgitation in the tricuspid valve.

Apparently this surgery on the pulmonary valve will fix both issues at the same time.

I'll be in the hospital between 3 and 5 days, but I won't be able to drive for a month or so afterward. Lot of pressure on the Mrs.

I'm gonna talk to my boss tomorrow and see if I can work from home during that month period. I don't wanna use my short-term disability if I can keep from it, but it's good to know it's there if I need it.

Wish me luck...having a procedure done to correct an issue with my pulmonary valve...

It's probably going to be in early January...

Thoughts/prayers/whatever are appreciated...I'm actually kinda scared.
