Glad you're okay.
My mother-in-law had a valve replaced with a pig valve. She was asked by another son-in-law if she was going to root for truffles. She did hold grudges well... I had the option of a biological valve but since they currently require a replacement in 10 to 15 years I said no thank you. The mechanical is thought to last over 25 years but it has the hassle of a required diet change of requlating vitamin K and taking an anti coagulant for the rest of my life.

Seeing your location as SE Missouri and you’re saying you went 3 hours north, are you by chance at the big medical center in Columbia? My son was there for about a month while being repaired following an accident a couple of years ago. Barnes is in STL, I'm guessing tedhorn lives somewhere south of Cape Girardeau. Probably real close to that restaurant where they throw rolls at you.

They lay out too much food to eat there often.

Awesome news! My mom had a couple of those St. Jude valves. They worked great for her.

Drain tubes and a bunch of IV lines that were sewn into the major artery for direct blood infusion and medicine injection.

Happy you're out.
Continued wishes for a full and uneventful recovery.
