Thank you. Doing well. I had the 30 post procedure echo yesterday. No regurgitation, and the valve is well seated. Some issues I'd been having and attributed to mild asthma before the procedure were apparently symptoms of cardiac failure because the lungs cleared immediately after the TAVR and no episodes of breathing problems since. Heart rhythm has been much better than before the TAVR - took a couple of weeks to settle down. At the appointment yesterday, they suggested participating in a Watchman trial - the implant to close the left atrial appendage; I'm considering it because I do have a bundle branch block and periods of A fib.
Take care; I really hate the conditions necessary in hospitals right now, and I know you feel them far more acutely. I've been amazed at the empty hallways during the hospital visits over the past several months - sometimes it almost felt like a ghost town. My wife had covid in August of 2020, and she's still struggling with some lingering effects; seeing that first hand tends to make you very wary.
