About Me

Although my story started with my Mitral Valve issue (back in Nov. 2019) this is about my Aortic Valve. I have Aortic Regurgitation Leaky Valve. Tomorrow (4/16/21) I go for two tests TEE and CT/Dye - to see which way they will do surgery. Frankly I'm terrified. I thought that talking to someone who has gone through some of this could help. I'm usually a very up and optimist person but this is a tough pill to swallow.
