About Me (In My Own Words)
I have been reading stories and gaining inspiration for a while now and have finally gained the courage to post. I've had a murmur for about 15 years and last year it became worse. After going through all the routine testing, aortic valve replacement became my only option.
To say I'm scared is an understatement. I know everything will be fine. I have two great surgeons on my side, an amazing support group of family, friends and coworkers, and most importantly, God to look after me.
My biggest fear is the breathing tube. Knowing I will wake up with it still in has me terrified. I panic in situations where I have no control, but I know it will all work out. Thank you Adam, for giving us this site to join together and support each other.
God Bless all of you.
