I Had A Aortic Valve Replacement With A Bovine Valve.
I had a aortic valve replacement with a bovine valve. I use medical marijuana for stress, anxiety and depression. I know smoking it is not good even before surgery, but what about vaporizers or edibles? There is no infection that can get into my heart right? I was infected by a dentist who pulled an infected tooth and refused me antibiotics. I've also used marajuana for my PTSD from this experience but don't want to risk the longevity of my valve
