Wishing you all the best. A friend of mine had valve replacement, he's recovered well and is now back at work full time. Not to minimize the recovery, it's painful, but it is a very common procdure nowadays, as others have mentioned.
Keep us updated!

Sorry to hear of your condition.
If your physician recommends valve replacement, have him explain all options and contra-indications to you. There are several valve options besides a mechanical valve. Several tissue options including donor and pig valves. If the Doc. can't or won't explan this to your satisfaction get another opinion. Which may be a good idea anyway before deciding on surgery.

Jaysus H. Christ. Look I don't know much, but I do know this. Get yourself premedicated before EVERY trip to the dentist. 4 grams of amoxicillin an hour before putting your buns in his chair.
A friend of mine just died from that very thing, but he got to suffer for 8 years before it finally got him and it all started going down hill when he had his teeth cleaned absent premed.
