About Me

I am 50 years old and just found out in August that i have a leaking Valve (Bicuspid)i was born with it. I met with my cardiologist and he had sent me for an MRI and decided that it was time to get it fixed. Its been quite a roller coaster ride of emotions, but finding this web site i believe will help me, i have always worked 2 to 3 jobs and now find it hard to work my main job, i look forward to getting my valve repaired and moving forward to get this in my rear view mirror.
