So it's about 6:30am Tuesday morning and it doesn't look like I'm getting back to sleep so why not write up todays update or at least go over what I know is supposed to happen, I may have to add to this post or update it depending on what happens with everything.

So far the plan is for me to have my Pacemaker/Defibrillator installed this afternoon around 1:30pm so right now I can't eat or drink anything till after the procedure. Not a fan of that but my food and drink later in the day will be awesome :)

I am for the most part ready to leave the hospital in terms of getting around and mobility, but this operation has required that they thicken my blood back up to more normal ranges and then after the operation it takes a day or two to thin the blood again which is what I will need life long now to keep my new valve working at it's best and avoiding future work or replacement on it.

That's all I know as of this morning but I will be adding to this post as the day progresses :)

Update: In the first video clip I take you with me on my walk and show you my route (Not a lot of options) that happens several times per day, somehow I managed to get 5000 steps in yesterday doing mainly this walk. Today I will try for this same but I'm really not sure how I will feel after my operation?

In video clip two I talk post procedure while I finally get to eat and drink after about 18 hours of food and water fasting. I talk about how I am feeling and what I expect to happen now. By the way as of around 8pm I am at 3300 steps and plan to get some more walking this evening so it look like I may get in my 5000 steps even with the operation :)
