About Me (In My Own Words)
I had Rehumatic fever at age 8 with effect my arotic valve. I was limited in my activities in my youth. In 1985 at age 35 my heart started to enlarged, it was then the Doctors told I needed surgery to replace the arotic valve with mechanical heart valve. It was successful and my recovery was in few weeks. The surgery waz was July 1 and I started running in 3 months. I was able to even run 2 marathon's.marathons. in 2007 the doctors found and aneurysm in my arotic artery below my first valve. That when I had my second surgery to repair and replace my first mechanical valve. My surgery was successful and been healthy heart since. The only problem was afid had a pacemaker in stalled in 2014. I still am active person . I am now 74 and thank my doctors for my healthy lifestyle.
