»nods« There were times I was feeling like backing out of the surgery, even as late as the day of the surgery.
Heck, the day after surgery, when I still had the chest tubes in me, I asked Seph if it was to late to back out. Only half joking. The chest tubes were the most painful pat of the post-operative time IMO. and they felt so WEIRD when they were removed.
Thanks! I think I've been surprising most of the people involved, with my recovery speed. In large part, most of the people they deal with are at least a decade older than I am, or they had to do more extensive stuff to the heart, like bypasses.

I am thankful we went in to the ER last year for my heart palpitations, which were a one time occurrence. I don't think the aortic regurgitation would have been caught until much later if I hadn't. Long enough that the heart muscle would have enlarged to keep the blood flowing.
