Thanks to John O’Neill<\/a>, the new year could not have started any better for our community.<\/p>\n

That’s right!\u00a0 John, who was diagnosed with severe aortic regurgitation<\/a>, had successful aortic valve replacement last week.\u00a0 It’s interesting to note that John had a bicuspid aortic valve<\/a> and was completely asymptomatic. It was also great to hear that John caught the disease as his left ventricle had already started to enlarge<\/a>.\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n

After seeing John’s smiling post-op picture, I quickly posted it at the HVS Facebook page (login required)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 30 seconds, John’s post had 40 Likes… Then 400 Likes… Then 1,200 Likes… Then 2,400 Likes.<\/p>\n

As of right now, John has inspired over 4,700 Facebook Likes.\u00a0 Ahhhh-Mazing!!!<\/p>\n

In addition, over 380 patients have left John encouraging and supportive comments. John has also received comments about his robe and his yellow socks which I think may be the new trend in compression stockings. We’ll have to wait to hear from John on that.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to John for sharing his journey with us!!! And, thanks to all of you for cheering John on!!!<\/p>\n
