Hee hee, I was a milk fiend before the surgery, but I'm glad the moo juice hasn't impaired the valve's functionality.

In theory, the valve can last as long as I do. But in practice, there's just not enough evidence to know for sure because these valves haven't been around long enough to find out. I certainly
hope I never have to get my chest ripped open again. Once was plenty!
BTW, in case anyone is interested, I have a
St. Jude's valve.
