About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse while attending UCSD in 1992. In 1999 in Malaysia, I was told it was not mitra valve prolapse but mild aortic stenosis. I monitored it without change until 2022. After getting a Sinopharm vaccination for COVID in the Seychelles it became "severe", according to an echocardiogram, although relatively asymptomatic. I am cuurently trying to decide what to do about it. The main problem I have is the doctors I talk to talk in terms of averages. But who is average?

It got worse. Now the date is set and we're going to Barcelona. I guess my wife can enjoy it. Great insurance pays hotel and air. Not sure exactly what will happen until they do the tests. I hope it's a MI 5 cm cut. I haven't exercised for over a month. So, I want it done. I've done surgery before. One moment you're relaxed in a cool room. The next moment you're in pain on a guerney somewhere.
