Dear Wellington

Assuming you are OHS and not TAVI.

Assuming you follow the vital exercises etc.....

At our age we are likely to be pretty useless for three months. During the three months i could not care for myself. However, the improvement and healing is noticeable daily. I was good after four months.

My op was 2/5/2020. The absence of follow up and rehab has been critical,
