About Me (In My Own Words)
January 25th 2018, a routine physical. My PCP mentions my heart murmur and I say, "What heart murmur?" Valentine's Day I get my echocardiogram and am diagnosed with severe mitral regurgitation. Fast forward and this coming Wednesday, April 4th I am being admitted to BIDMC in Boston. This is one day before my OHS. They are doing a cardiac cath and a TEE on Wednesday and fixing the valve on Thursday.
I was able to get an OR date only 2 weeks after I saw my surgeon, Dr Kamal Khabbaz, which is good. I do not think I could have managed this level of stress for any longer!
