About Me

It is time to fix my leaky valve. I had a murmur since I was a teenager. Met with two surgeons from Duke at Durham and I set up my appointment today. I have a 60% chance to get minimal invasive surgery and 90% to repair my valve. So I am pretty happy about that. I feel very comfortable with my surgeon and the hospital. Adam's book really helped me. Thank you!
