About Me (In My Own Words)
3 years agoI was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis after my valve was stuck open causing mypulse to go upto 244 bpm. Then in Nov 2016 1week beforeThanksgiving I had a severe Heart attack needing a stint put in. One month later, had an Angina attack, was told I needed surgery soon! Then Feb 8th 2017 I had a second heart attack! At that timeI had to go in for TEE & other test... the Doctors would not let me leave hospital. Waited 6 days to get all blood thinners out of system. Waslucky enough to get Dr John Doty as my surgeon. He is chief heart surgeon at IMC. 13 Hours of surgery on March 13th & I came through great! I came home 1 week before my 58th birthday. my new heart is now 4 months old & I'm doing well. I could not have done all this without the Love of my Life Jennifer...Thanks Jenn!!
