Tom, Sounds like you're doing great. But, curious about one thing...does the bovine valve require that you take anti-rejection drugs? Hopefully not.

Well shoot guys, here's the latest; next Monday will be the 7 week anniversary of the surgery (and my birthday as well). I saw the thoracic surgeon yesterday, and a week ago. Last week he turned me loose behind the wheel of my car, a major event. Yesterday he said I should go out and hit some balls, which I did today - 20 8-irons, average distance, 95 yds. Also a tube of 24 practice balls hit with a SW, 57 yds. The chest held together and only a small amount of pain. Putted and chipped for about an hour as well. The aortic valve stenosis was repaired with a bovine valve. A mechanical valve was not considered at all. I go for one more follow-up with the thoracic guy, then a visit with a cardiologist for a sonogram. Taking rat poison (coumadin/warfarin) for 1 1/2 months more and done with that. Same with metoprolol. Just a baby aspirin daily. So there it is. Feeling pretty good. A little tired but better every day. Thanks for all the good wishes.
