About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with aortic insufficiency when I volunteered for the Israeli army. I was born in the U.K. But at the age of 16 my entire family emigrated to Israel. After 6 months of tests I was allowed to join the paratroopers and served for 3 and a half years. I played soccer for local teams all my life uptill the age of 40. Played squash , tennis and cycling all at at a high level. My heart problems did not reveal themselves up till the age of 45. I am now 51. I have been going for regular checkups since I was 20 years old and my cardiologist did say the valve would need replacing by the time I was 50 he was spot on !!! And now the time has come.
