About Me

I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve when and diagnosed when I was 18 months old. I have lived a normal and active life as a farmer. I see my cardiologist twice a year and get annual echoes. Was told last month valve has progressed to severe and needed to be replaced. 35 years old with a wife and 2 kids. Glad to find this community.
