About Me

Diagnosed with angina in February of 2018 due to calcium deposits on aortic valve. Catheterization in early August showed no blockages and normal heart. C.T . Scan in early September in preparation for valve replacement led my Surgeon to want to do replacement quickly and I was scheduled for surgery 9/12/20018. Nature has intervened with a hurricane slated to come ashore exactly where I live in N.C. With uncertainty of what we would come home to,or would we have a home the decision was made to slipping a week. Now we wait for Florence to hit and wonder what the weekend brings.
