About Me (In My Own Words)
Having had rheumatic fever as a child, I remember always having a "heart murmur" which was always noted and nothing more. In 2000, I began seeing a cardiologist on an annual basis, and he diagnosed the mitral regurgitation, telling me I would have to undergo surgery at some time in the future. Well, as long as the future never became the present, that was OK with me! I am now 69. A few months ago re-testing showed a worsening of my condition calling for surgery soon. I met with a surgeon today, and the date for my mitral valve replacement has been set for May 16.
