About Me

Mitral valve repair is coming soon. I want to get it over with, but don't want to do it, you know? Mom had it done many years ago and it gave her a long life. She had full sternotomy, I'll have partial. Hers was emergent, I just remember how worried we all were. It's hard to avoid putting myself in her shoes.
