About Me

Diagnosed with Mitral valve leakage Severe grade 4. After much fear and doubt found this site and hung around for about six months but have not been on in a while. Had my repair performed 08/03/2016 by the best valve surgeon in Arizona Dr. Patrick De Valeria. Recovery was not as bad as I thought it would be but I was one of the lucky ones. 8 months out now and feel great.
