About Me

I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis 5 years ago. My cardiologist has been watching it closely this year he informed me that it was time to do something or I may find myself in trouble in the near future. Needless to say I was a hot mess for a month at least until I realized that today they can do something to fix what is wrong. Iam very nervous about the surgery. Iam also hopeful for a good outcome. I can't wait until I can do my walking like I use to I have trouble just walking to my car in a parking lot. I have a wonderful family they are very supportive my youngest daughter always takes charge and she has been my care giver the last time I found myself with pericarditis and atrial fib. In one 1week I had a peri cardio window procedure and an ablation. I guess that could be why Iam so very nervous. But to be honest I want to feel better so maybe in a couple of months I will feel alot better
