About Me

After years of struggling to breath I pushed for a specialist a pulmonologist finally did her due diligence it's not my lungs . She then had an echocardiogram which in turn found beginning in July that I have severe mitral valve stenosis and would have to have a valve replacement. Two days later they had me in for an angiogram to check my heart pressure and my arteries. Thank goodness my arteries are clear and in awesome shape. While recovering that same day the Heart Surgeon called making my consultation appointment. July 19th. All is happening super fast. Consultation done and surgery is scheduled. I have not had an event but don't want one.
