The astounding thing to me is, when you have the aortic valve replaced in your heart, you can get it done and go home the next day. I was just amazed at that. As far as the hospital experience, I think that’s about as good as you could get. I’m just so thankful for that procedure, that Dr. Patel was able to do on me without opening my chest up. He did just a great job.
