TAVR: One Year Later

A year ago today, through the afternoon, I was on a table with my chest wide open while the surgeons searched for the leak in my heart.


Earlier the TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) had gone well. If it weren’t for the hole poked in the side. Yeah well, Adventure #1 started. Hooray to Jennifer for hanging on through the multi-hour ordeal. They did find it and patched me up. Time for adventure #2, waiting to strike on the 31st of August.

Several hours later I’d wake up after the 20% chance of the procedure working. Hooray for keeping my luck in stock for the important things.
