I talk about my experiences in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) straight after the open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve.
I discuss what I remember, what happened and try to convey the experience to those facing a similar procedure.
For me, this was literally 'bottom' and signalled the start of my long road to recovery.

History:
As per details on my previous videos, I was diagnosed with severe aortic regurgitation due to an insufficient Aortic valve. It was decided to replace my valve with a mechanical valve (St Jude Mechanical). The operation took place on 18th February 2020 at the Royal Brompton in UK.
