About Me (In My Own Words)
January 29 2016 I had my aortic valve replaced with a bovine tissue, I also had my ascending Aorta repaired due to a aneurysm. Surgery was done at Cleveland Clinic. All was going well I was in Cardiac Rehab went in for 6 month check up and was told that I had growing aneurysm in the arch aorta and also in the descending aorta. So back to C.C. for grafts on both areas. Two open heart surgery's in one year. Am I scared you bet put I know that I am going to be at a world class hospital. Dr. Douglas Johnston will do the surgery I am very fortunate that other then these Aorta issues I am in good health . I am so grateful that my heart issues can be repaired. Having gone thru surgery once at least I know what to expect. Is this a good thing? Well here we go I am so thankful for this community Sometime it just helps to read other stories and realize we are not alone other people have experience the same things. Has anyone else had more than one surgery? Would like to read your story.
