real straightforward operation, usually pretty quick recovery, you gotta get used to hearing the valve click, need to keep on the blood thinners, but it seems other lifestyle changes are not called for. Wife's mom had this operation last year and we were all scared, but it was much better than we expected and she has a really normal life (no bikes however).....best of luck on the 12th, but pinch as many butts as you can in the operating room...they won't kick you out!!
Sorry to hear about your valve problem. Best wishes for the op! My dads been warfarin for many years after he had heart troubles. Trouble is he's a clumsy b*****r and always cutting himself on his hands. If you are the same I hope you don't mind the sight of blood as it takes ages to stop bleeding after even a small cut!!
Huge congrats on the double championships mate and best of luck for the op on Monday, now we're back from honeymoon we'll no doubt be over there bugging you during convalescence
