She chose the "biological" valve. (Cow tissue in this case.) She decided against the mechanical mostly due to her mother's hassles with a blood thinner regimen 25yrs ago.
We're all looking forward to the outcome. A return to her soldier marches and long days. The past few months have not been easy with the lessened energy and accompanying frustrations. The surgery was no longer optional.
She's out of surgery in an hour so I'm heading back to the waiting room. Just thought I'd grab a bite and see if the world outside was still revolving. Again, thanks a bunch for your thoughts.
When this is over I'm going to sleep for a week.
