About Me (In My Own Words)
3 years ago during a bout with the flu my family doctor heard a murmur. That murmur led to an echo. Result was moderate avs. Examined biannually. Oct 2013 echo showed severe aortic stenosis and time for valve replacement. Surgery date set for Feb. 11 2014 .
The initial diagnosis came as quite a shock as I have been blessed with excellent health and active lifestyle. After echo in Feb. 2013 cardiologist instructed me not to pick up grandbabies any longer (I suspected surgery was on the horizon). I was hoping to get a few short ski trips in this winter before surgery but after last echo the cardiologist put the "ka bash" to that too. This winter I am going to keep busy preparing for and recovery from surgery
