About Me

I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Found this website year later. I am so grateful to Adam and everyone who has posted on this website. Being able to read all of the different stories & having The Learning Center has really helped me mentally prepare for my upcoming surgery. The first couple of years I was so scared. I read everything I could find. Now I am feeling very blessed by this website & God's grace for giving me such a peace about my new Journey. My Cardiologist is sending me to Dr. William Ryan on April 22nd. I know he is a great Surgeon at a great Hospital. I feel like I am in great hands. So excited to being closer to the healing side of this crazy ride.
