About Me (In My Own Words)
I am a very active 47 year old Mom of three boys (21,18 & 17). I was diagnosed with MVP back when I was in my early twenties, but was told not to worry about it and to just get a physical every two years. It wasn't until the past three years where my cardiologist has been seeing me once a year to keep on top of things. Over the last year, I noticed some changes to how I was feeling while exercising, so my doctor did a stress test & a TEE ( transesophageal echocardiogram). It was then that I found out that my issue changed from mild to severe regurgitation and my valves are also stretched. That leads us to today where I am officially scheduled for my valve repair on Tuesday, October 7th. I am ready to move forward and get this repair done.
