About Me

My mantra is to exercise a minimum of 5 out of 7 days each week and I have always lived life to the fullest. I am 58 years young and love singles tennis, zumba and skiing. The great news is that my fantastic Cardiologist, Dr. David Bolon has been watching my heart for several years now. Over many years I would simply feel a pain in my heart which would not last long and did not impact my life during exercise. I was to watch for signs as someday I would need a replacement heart valve. So on July 4th weekend while playing tennis after only 10 minutes I got a very sharp pain in my heart. And as the days went on I felt dizzy and out of breath. On July 20, I will get a tissue heart valve for my aortic valve.
