About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm in the aortic root in 1986 at the age of 35.. The aneurysm had stretched my aortic valve, Dr. Gott performed an aortic valve/ composite graft replacement surgery. This operation consisted of a 27 mm St. Jude bileaflet aortic valve sewn into the dacron graft as one unit Composite Graft Bental Procedure. I am very active and have always been a runner. I stopped running just a few years ago due to afib. Although I still walk about 2 to 3 miles fast daily and try to include hills in my daily routine.
