As most now know, I am facing open heart surgery on August 6th to replace my aortic valve. Although I have known for 4 years that this day would eventually come, the day seems to be approaching at a rapid pace. To support the inquiries of so many great friends and family members I have created this blog with the purpose of providing an update on my surgery and recovery. Comments are encouraged!

Great report...3 days post op
Jerry had a good night. Dr. Kempe came in this morning and said they are taking all the tubes out today and if he walks good and does well he will probably go home tomorrow!!! His oxygen dropped 10 points too low last night but kempe says it's normal and he needs to prescribe me a sedative because I'm worrying too much...I told him that would be just fine with me hahaha
