About Me

I was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis and am due to have my valve replaced on June 22nd at the Cleveland Clinic. The last three weeks I've been getting ready for my surgery. I started with my dental check up, followed by a cardiac catheterization which I was told I have the arteries of a 20 year old. They are nice and clear so no bypass😃. I am finishing up with my last round of tests this week and consult with my surgeon. I'm anxious to get this done so I can start my recovery.
