About Me

I was born with tetralogy of fallot. Pretty much holes in my hear. This was repair when I was about 2 years old. They also carved out most of my pulmonary valve during the surgery. Now that I'm 39 I'm getting ready to have a new pulmonary valve put in. Soft date for my surgery is Sept 22nd. It will be done at Kaiser San Francisco by a Stanford university Doctor. I have a pre-op appointment in SF on Sept 8th.
