About Me

Five years ago I was first told I had a heart murmur. Since I felt fine I did not do anything about it. Three years ago when I got my first medicare physical the murmur was again detected. I had an echo and was told I had aortic stenosis. I took a stress test and did well. The next year I dropped to ten minutes and this year I dropped to eight. It is now time to get something done so I will be going to Cleveland for aortic valve replacement on 31Aug10. I still feel fine and swim everyday in preparation for my surgery. I just lack stamina.
