About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with a leaky valve late 2024. My cardiologist said not to worry. So I continued to attend the gym 5 days a week and lift quite heavy weights. I am almost 78. Late 2025 when I visited the cardiologist he had me attend hospital and have a TOE and an angiogram. That was how they found that the valves were diseased. I am told that lifting the heavy weights would not have affected the valves, however it is interesting how the valve disease progressed so rapidly. I have given up lifting weights however am walking at least 10,000 steps per day to try to be fit for the operation.
