About Me (In My Own Words)
I have had two heart attacks the first in 2006. The Dr. who placed the stint ordered and Echo. The results were Mild Aortic Stenosis. I was told that valve replacement would be in my future. I put that back in my mind a went on with life. the last few years I have been showing symptoms that I thought was some other ailment. I went in to my regular Dr. early April for a check up. He set up and appointment with a local Heart Specialist. After another Echo, I was rushed through the process. My Mild Stenosis was now severe. One week later I am setting in the Surgeon's office and now sit here waiting for the 25th and a date with a new valve.
