About Me

After tracking my heart murmur for 15 years or so, as it got to the severe score, I decided to enroll in Cleveland Clinic to get the best doctors on my case. After a couple of visits with the Cleveland Cardiologist and plenty of tests, I was referred to the Cleveland Clinic surgeon. As they say, "its all fun and games until someone loses an eye." Suddenly there is a fixed date on the calendar and now this has all become very real.
