[QUOTE="chrisadams812, post: 5180630, member: 64685"] Didn’t have a leaky aortic valve. I did however in April of 2021 have an aortic dissection, had several strokes during the initial surgery. Chest was left open for a week. Was in an induced coma for over a month. Had to learn to talk, walk, eat. Everything. But because I still have a tear on my descending side of the aorta and have a 25 pound weight lifting limit for life, my career with UPS is now over. I did however, in August of 2020 get a herniated disc while working. Now I’ve developed severe arthritis in my back that will require lumbar punctures. The aorta ended my career with UPS and now I’m fighting for disability. The arthritis in the back I’m not really sure on just yet since I injured myself at work and that’s on file. 🤷🏼♂️ Good luck to you! I’m 36 so I feel ya there as far as the age and the open heart surgery. [/QUOTE]
