About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with aortic regurgitation when i was around 13 or maybe younger it's hard to remember since i am now 38.. I have been dealing with the realization of surgery for 25 years. I am now on my way to surgery on the 15th. My head is absolutely spinning with thoughts, mostly negative. I'm sure i will be just fine. I'm trying to be strong for my family but it's tough. I wish i was told about this web site a long time ago. I thought i had a lot more time before surgery maybe 3-4 months but that's not the case. Apparently my heart is now enlarging which as we know is not good. I'm am getting the surgery done at temple university hospital in Philadelphia. My surgeon is very nice and was willing to answer any questions me and my wife had so I feel I am in very good hands.
