Mia, You have quite a story of trial and tribulation. I have a heart valve 'condition' and am looking at surgery soon. It is new for me, so you are inspirational and a big help to other people. I hope you are doing well.

Hi Mia, I had OHS for a bicuspid aortic valve 4 months ago and I am doing great. My wife actually found Adams book online shortly after I was diagnosed (7/3/13) with aortic stenosis. Any information to help others I feel is a good thing and people today turn more and more to the internet. I am so glad you are feeling better in CA.

Mia, I heard about Adam Pick' s book about 41/2-5 years ago. I talked to a friend of a friend who had just had valve surgery and he told me about the book and Adam's basic web site. It made it so much easier for me to deal with my health issue through the following 5 years before I had surgery. So glad you figured out that it was the altitude that made you not feel well. Onward and upward!

Mia, I was so happy to read that you are feeling better now that you have moved! It has to be such a joy (and relief!) to feel well again. I am really happy for you! I am heading to the mountains for Christmas, and I'm hoping to feel better this trip. If not, I guess I will have to give up my dream of living in the mountains someday. Hope you love your new life in California! Good luck!

What a brave young lady! You have been through a lot. My daughter lives in Denver so the last few years when I would go out to see her(before my surgery) I seemed to have some problems with altitude and really had trouble going up steps. Now that I'm on the other side of surgery I am wondering how I will be? My nurse/helper just told me that her parents lived in Dillon for 15 years and recently her dad had heart problems and her mom had to be on oxygen. They moved back to the Midwest and within 6 months her mom was off oxygen and her dad felt much better that he could return to cycling.

Mia Smith That would certainly be interesting to see-I know when I went and visited California I felt great, but the moment I returned everything hit me like a ton of bricks. Denver is 2,000 ft lower than where I live though.
Altitude seems like it bothers a lot of people, whether they have heart problems or not.

A good, honest rant is the best medicine. We spend so much energy "being strong", trying to have a "good attitude", our real selves get lost in the shuffle. This is a great place to do that. I was having a nice little pity party for myself today but your story pulled me right out of it. Love and the best to you, Mia.
