About Me

I had my first open heart surgery when I was an infant, just after I turned a year. Pulmonary valve stenosis, is what they called it. After 45 years, it was finally in need of repairs and a new valve. I'm excited to see how much better my life is going to be, without pulmonary insufficiency.
