We would
like to welcome back Joe K! Joe was out
from the clubhouse due to medical reasons.
At the end of July, Joe had open heart surgery, where doctors went in to
replace a torn valve. He says,” they
basically gave me an oil change”.
Joe had to
be hospitalized for about 3 weeks. He
stated that he remembers feeling his
heart flutter, but he thought it was from eating, but what was happening at
that time was an aneurysm. An aneurysm occurs
when part of a blood vessel, or artery, or cardiac chamber swells and the blood
vessel is either damaged or weakened in the wall of the blood vessel.
Joe
remembers the pain that followed the surgery, but feels like the surgery was,
“life-saving” and he feels “lucky”! He was recommended by his doctor to attend
cardiac rehab three times per week.
We are glad
to have Joe back and we wish him well in his recovery.
