About Me

I found out that I had a severe leak in October 2016 during a routine physical. My cardiologist reccommended that I repair my valve. Preop included chest xray, angiogram, bloodwork, echo, CT scan. They went through my sternum. I did have afib compication 5 days after surgery, but they restarted my heart and its been in good rhythm since. I am recovering and soon will be back to everyday life!
