About Me

Getting set to have aortic valve surgery. Been on a 4.5 year "watch," since my murmur was detected. No symptoms, but have been advised that the outcome at this point is irreversible. Switched Cardiologists a few months ago; like the new guy much better. Hoping to have my surgery in early August.
