I knew years ago that one day I would need a valve replacement, and today I found out that I am in need of one soon. My heart is getting tired and the regurgitation is quite severe. My aorta is also enlarged so that will get fixed as well. I am scared and really trying to absorb as much of this day as possible.
I really appreciate everyone posting their journey and speed bumps along the way. It is easier to understand the what's and why's of what will be.
Praying for speedy healing and much comfort to everyone
