About Me

Totally asymptomatic, but had murmur for years. Was going to have cyst removed from my spine and surgeon made me see a cardiologist who got an echo. I barely had any blood flow at all and none of them could believe I had no symptoms. Had minimally invasive (no cracking the breast bone) valve replacement.
