About Me (In My Own Words)
At around age 35, I was diagnosed as having a heart murmur. It wasn't until January of 2011 (age 50) that I found out that I have a bicuspid aortic valve. At that time, my cardiologist told me that I would probably need surgery in 5-10 years. Last year (2012) at my check up, I was told that I would need surgery in 2-5 years. Now, this year in March (2013), my cardiologist said that it would be 6-12 months. Somehow I keep losing years! I went to see my primary care physician and he recommended that I go to Boston, Baltimore or Cleveland for my surgery., I need my aortic valve replaced before the end of September 2013. I chose Cleveland Clinic, as they have the best heart hospital in the United States. I visited the Cleveland Clinic on July 23rd, 2013. My surgery is set for Sept 18, 2013.
