All I can say is, at the risk of sounding corny, I believe you are one of those people that God has a special plan for.  It is a miracle, in my book anyway, that you are still with us.  I thank God you are.  I just had to get that said.  I am so happy to hear that you feel so well now.  May God continue to bless you.  Please keep us posted on your progress.

Are you talking about the abdominal aorta? I was asking this info for a friend who had this heart aorta surgery. Thanks for your time and sorry if I miscommunicated. Health to you, Lisa

Would also like to find out if there is a message board for cardiology or heart ailments? Anyone know?

I had surgery on 7/3 … the aortic valve had been blocked for at least 4 years and I had four hospitalized episodes of ischemic colitis.  Since I got to the hospital three days into my 4th session, they decided to operate … they rerouted the aortic valve and removed 1/3 my colon.  I came home in six days (today is day 13 after surgery) and am feeling much better than I have in years.
