About Me

I had a heart attack in 2019, got a stent put in. Things have been good since then, but I developed a slight murmur last year. This October an angiogram revealed a severe heart murmur and two 70+% blocked arteries. I will have open heart surgery to correct both of these conditions. The surgeon thinks that the mitral valve can be repaired, not replaced, so I am hoping for that.
