I'm home from the hospital! [View all]

Still have a nasty cough, but my lungs are clear. Immediate future is to build up some endurance so I can walk more - they blame the pneumonia on my inability to walk and distance.

Right now I am on various blood thinners, heart and kidney medications and such. No idea if I will have to take there the rest of my life or just until they get the aortic valve cleared.

I'm sorry I didn't respond to many messages in the other thread. Ti took everything I had to just write the message. Same thing here - I am completely out of energy tonight.

I start home physical therapy tomorrow and a home health carer to make sure I stick with my routine.

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes!
