@legalbutterfly I had non-emergency surgery a little over a year ago to repair a 5.2 cm ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve repair. I was 72 at the time and had no major complications from the surgery and was out of the hospital in 5 days. I take 15 daily prescriptions, some of them more than once a day. I wish I wasn’t because of the side effects. I’m tired, lack energy, am achy, have digestive problems, and have horrible dry mouth. 8 of the prescriptions are for my heart, the rest are for my other medical issues. On the plus side my aneurysm is gone and the pills are keeping me alive.
