About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born with BAV and AS. At age of 10 , had OHS and had stenosis repaired. Now my valve has calcified and will allow only 30% flow. Funny thing is I've been body building and training for 20 years and very active my life. I've always had a "murmur" so never thought to much about it. I tore my tricep in Oct 2015 and when I went for surgery, the anesthesiologist wouldn't do his thing until I had my heart checked out. That started this whole ball rolling. I'm 50 , a mechanic and 220lbs and not to excited about 6-10 weeks of not being able to do my job. Especially in slow economic times in my province. Also,( though this sounds vain) 20 yrs of hard gym time to get to the size I am. My children are in there early 20s and starting their lives , but I do feel I won't be much help if they need anything. I do trust , that Jesus has a plan and will guide me through. but still I struggle with whats going to happen.
