Mitral Valve replaced with a pig valve mid September 2018, attended son's wedding in late October (dancing till 1 am) Shot an 8 pt November 7th from a tree stand...how he got up there, I'll never know.
This was the second time they cracked me for heart issues. Once before in '98 but repaired the valve at the time. Be aggressive during cardio rehab and you will recover. It wasn't easy but very do able. Extended walks really help build stamina.
At 68 there is still a lot of life left, I hunt every season, fish all year and golf at least 2x a week when I'm not hunting. Focus on recovery and then don't give it another thought. You can't dwell on what happened or what might happen in the future.
I kinda look at whats going on in the country regarding the plague and I just can't bring myself to stop living for fear of dying.

Good luck on the sx.

How hard was it to sleep with that sternum healing?

Sleep in a recliner or on your back and there is no problem.

Yes. Most likely procedure dependent. If something hurts, don't do that.

Update: Thanks for all the replies. 2 1/2 weeks since surgery.
Recovery going good. Walking 1 1/2 miles a day. Swathing/baling hay.
Sleeping on side now, healing nicely, not much pain, only taking pain
meds after bouncing around in hay field, as a precaution.
Already notice improvement. Before surgery I would get winded taking
a shower. Not now. I have a follow up Tuesday, and have a long list of
can-do questions. Not giving up on deer season yet, too many
inspirational stories here.
Thanks again,
Martin
