About Me

Aorta Valve disease, I have two cusp instead of three, and they are hardening, stenosis and regurgitating. Detected through a heart murmur. I do not have high blood pressure, high colestoral, or shortness of breath. I feel real good. I did experience a dizzy spell at the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Museum and Homestead here in Vermont on his birthday 4 July 2023. They called 911, they responded and my vitals and EKG were perfect. I walked in a parade earlier, 9 miles. It was hot. They are starting to prepare me for surgery in the next year or earlier. I want to get it done sooner.
