About Me

I'm back! almost 4 years ago, I had open heart surgery to repair my mitral valve. It was a valiant effort by a very talent surgeon in Madison, WI. Found out in early June that the repair is failing and replacement surgery is required. Fortunately, I am a candidate for robotic surgery and will hopefully be able to experience a shorter recovery period. Too much living to do to sit around. Keep me in your thoughts as I do each of you!
