About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed in the fall of 2015 during a regular physical. Doctor heard a heart murmur and I mentioned my brother had tricuspid aortic stenosis so was sent to cardiologist for further follow-up. I was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic stenosis and have been monitored ongoing. In the last few months told that time to intervene with surgery due to size of aneurysm. I am asymptomatic so I am trying to be thankful that it was caught but still very nervous about surgery next week. I think I am still in denial, and have been so busy at home and work that have not had much time to dwell on it. My pre-op is on Thursday so I know reality will hit me then.
