Brenda sparks Thank you Adam,I really appreciate being able to come and vent:) So many nice people! I did find out I don't have to have my surgery now. He said the valve was to narrow and very mild. He's going to check it again but I have to have a stress test and some other tests. I will still be checking in and May God bless you for what you do for myself and everyone on here! Brenda
Adam Pick Thanks for the kind words Brenda. Great news. There's no hurry to have heart surgery. :)
