Hello Tracie,

Thanks for the info, did you go home after the 10 days? If so, did you then get nursing visits or any other support? I have heard so many different things regarding the amount of time it takes to get over an operation like this. When you said the after care was not great did you mean in the hospital for the 10 days, or once you were back home?

Dennis

Hi, I lived in Basildon, and know that Basildon hospital does not have a great reputation, but I understand they have a new specialst heart unit, is that where you had it done?
I was wondering about aftercare, it seems to be good in France but my wife has concerns as although we can speak and understand french we are not fluent and she is worried we will miss some vital information!
