I needed open heart surgery. If I didn't have it, I would die. Scary stuff.
My breathlessness wasn’t caused by the covid vaccine or down to my weight like I thought Get shot at by a James Bond villain – tick. Front up a band at Glastonbury – tick. Open heart surgery – tick. Yes, that’s right… having open heart surgery to replace a valve was actually on my bucket list. Ever since I found out I had severe aortic stenosis – which is when the heart’s aortic valve narrows and blood isn’t able to flow normally – in early 2022, such a procedure went right to the top.
Was I in another world? No, I was in the ICU ward. Surgeons performing open heart surgery in modern operation room I had had an unfounded fear of waking up mid-procedure so my first words to Stan were: ‘Is it done?’. He replied, soothingly: ‘Yes it is done’. The sense of relief was overwhelming. All I needed to do now was get better. The following few nights were hard. No sense of time, in and out of sleep, machines beeping every now and again.
