Frank, very good news and thanks for updating us. I was wondering what happened. I'm pleased your doctor was so good. They have so many good people there. I am sure you'll be off of all drugs very soon. Just take your time as your heart is pretty battered and may do some funny things for awhile. Keep posting.
: : Frank is having his Maze today, and I would ask evryone to keep Frank in their thoughts or prayers today for his surgery, and for his recovery.
: : WISHING EVERYONE A NSR FOR THE WEEK.
: Thanks for all the prayers - it worked! They did the Maze//Mitral Valve Repair (including the installation of an annular ring) and I immediately went into NSR and am still there!.
: Hats off to the Cleveland Clinic, everything ran so flawlessly! The Surgeon who did the Valve Job, Dr. Sabik got a nice tight seal on the Mitral Valve; he was assisted by Dr. Gillinow who did the Maze Procedure, and if my results are any indication, he should be put on your "recommended" list.
: I was discharged on Saturday, got home Sunday, and am feeling stronger every day. Only medication:Toprol XL 50mg.
: Again, Thanks to everyone for praters and advice - this list is a tremendous resource for anyone cintemplating the Maze Procedure!
