About Me

From being told I don't qualify for a TAVR, and will need surgery in 6 months to a year, I have just heard I need to do it sooner. Having a specific date is different than just having it all "out there sometime in the future. I have to face the reality of joining your fellowship. Glad you're all out there for encouragement!
