About Me (In My Own Words)
At age 30 found out I had a bicuspid aortic valve, and as ascending aortic aneurysm at 6.7cm. Open heart surgery July 2010 and had valve-sparing aortic root replacement surgery and a graft replaced my ascending aorta. Several complications during and after surgery, was in ICU 10days with ARDS, kidney failure and pneumonia. Full heart block as a result of the surgery and had a dual chamber Medtronic Adapta pacemaker implanted prior to going home. Finding getting back to my active lifestyle very challenging and taking longer than expected.
