About Me

I guess my mitral valve doesn't work; who knew? For those of you who understand these things (I'm guessing most on here), it's mitral valve prolapse with severe regurgitation and severe LAE. I'll try to update my journal when there are things to update. **Updated with surgery information. Now the waiting begins ... **Update: it's done! Check my journal for all the details. I'm now officially in the recovery phase.
