It’s just something that has become constant internal background noise over the years. I don’t know about anyone else with mechanical heart valves, but I’m constantly aware of mine and am so used to it that it doesn’t bother me. I assume my brain tunes it out, but I’m not sure because I don’t think about that.
Constantly aware because of the noise or can you actually feel it? I had my gallbladder removed and it’s so weird to me that my body doesn’t feel different in any way I can tell. I’m not sure how internal organs work in terms of being able to feel stuff.
Doesn’t feel different, as far as I’m aware. It’s been long enough I wouldn’t remember if there’s any difference in how it feels. But I feel constantly aware because of the noise. The distinct internal clicking noise makes it hard for me not to be aware.

Cool. Similar to my friend. Good luck, glad the tech could keep you going!
