About Me

Hi! I've known about my bicuspid valve for 20+ years now and we've carefully watched the valve and ascending aorta throughout. A recent CAT scan showed it was time to get things fixed. I'm asymptomatic (still work out every day and run the occasional 5K) but I'm really looking forward to getting the repair behind me and moving on to bigger and better things including dancing at my son's wedding in October and eventually walking the Camino de Santiago!
