About Me

I've always had a leaky valve since being diagnosed with A-fib back in 2009. It was not until this February that I acquired double pneumonia which started my downward spiral to my current state today. Now I'm faced with severe mitral regurgitation in which I have to have my valve replaced in addition to having an ablation of my A-fib. I maintain a strong positive outlook because I believe your outlook determines your outcome. I look forward to turning my test into my testimony!
