Thank you to my Cleveland Clinic team, especially Dr. Michael Tong. My aortic valve was worse than what the echos’s were showing. I had three large tears in the leaflets so no chance of repairing. Great to be on the other side of this.
Denise Agnew You're looking great. Sounds like you're still doing well now the surgery is over.

Had first day of pre-surgery testing yesterday at Cleveland Clinic and Heart Cath showed no significant issues with coronary arteries. That was a big relief. Only problem I had was radial artery wouldn't cooperate so they had to go through the femoral artery to do test. More tests today and meet with Dr. Tong to discuss the surgery. I'm assuming it will be a mini-sternotomy for the aortic valve replacement. Still clinging on to some hope for a repair, but won't know until my meeting later this morning. Had to stay in the hospital last night and can't say enough about the staff at CC. They were all great. Hoping for a smooth surgery and quick recovery.

Susan Lynn Woo-hoo! Great news on your clear arteries! When I got that news, it was one of the happiest days of my life! Sorry about your radial artery issue, but the important thing is you just checked one major item off the to-do list! Please keep us posted on your progress! Best of luck with the remainder of your pre-op tests.
