About Me (In My Own Words)
Had surgery on April 15, 2010, at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Ga., had a heart murmur most of my life but never had any problems, but for the last 2 years. when I would have yearly physical, my Dr.would tell me I needed to have it checked, but wasn't having any problems, I did most everthing I wanted to do, exercised, walked, yoga & was going to line dance class, I pulled a muscle in my arm & went to see my family Dr., & she listened to my heart & she said, oh we need to get this checked, went for test, and had my surgery in three wks. I have done really well, was back doing yoga in 2 months, it was rough for about 6 weeks, my pillow & I became good friends, I'm glad I was fortunate enough to get something done before something bad had happened to me, my Dr.,told me if I hadn't I would have started having problems in about 3 months, I go back for my checkup next month, Its hard to believe you can feel so good & something so bad is going on inside you, I turned 70 last Nov., & I feel so blessed!
