My father has had valve issues since he was 12, couldn't pass the Army physical or an FAA physical because of it. They have talked about different options over the years but never did anything about it. He's 84 now and doing pretty good.

thanks guys, was hoping he could go in the side, but looks like through the front. i also have to have some work done on the aorta while in there, so doc said better to do it all at once.

spare, i've talked to more than a few who have the same issues say the same ,especially older people. maybe they want to address it now, before i get any older. or maybe with obama care, i wouldn't be approved in a year or two.

i guess going to a surgeon to see if you need to be cut on is like asking a roofer if you need a new roof.

Well, I'm back, sorta. Surgery went well, was able to repair my existing valve and repair an aortic aneurysm they caught on ct that doc said would have had me back on the table in 2 years. Lot weaker that I thought I'd be, but ever day gets better.

Fishing is great in Florida and I'm looking at peachtree dr in Atlanta . That's what upsets me most.

That aortic aneurysm was like a ticking time bomb inside you. If it ruptured you would have been dead before you hit the floor. Great news that they found and repaired it!! So glad that the operation went well and you're on the mend. Wishing you a speedy and uncomplicated recovery Phat.

Thanks guys, Every day gets better. Got out of hospital yesterday. Going to hunker down at my brother-in-laws here in Decatur for about a week, then back to Florida. I will have to be on Coumadin for 2 months- post op, but hopefully back to normal after that.

That's what docs said ,D.

Guess I'll have time to work on Phatdaddy Phishing website now
