About Me (In My Own Words)
I had heart surgery when i was five to remove the same membrane. Unfortunately, over the last 32 years it grew back, wreeking some ther havoc along the way. Hypertrophic obstructive cardio myopathy.
I found out there was an issue back in September. On labor day evening, after a long day in the sun doing yard work, I was on the couch having desert. Suddenly my heartbeat jumped up to what I whould find out later to be 200 bpm, and kinda wouldn't stop. After about 30 minutes i gave in and off we went to the ER...
Fast forward 6 months and I had open heart surgery ,again.
Removed a membrane, thinned out septal wall of heart, repaired the aorta, and mitral valve replacement (mechanical valve installed)
Healing well. Feeling good.
