About Me

My story starts in 1968. I was diagnosed with myocarditis at Age 20. I was retired early from Active Duty Air Force. Over the years the problem of irregular beat followed me. I later had a second attack. Then a pacemaker with AICD and next the valve. I take many medication and follow up with my CH team every six months. I have a direct line to them and I've had a number of admits and specialist. I'm stable and retired permanently. I'm 73.
