I've know that I had a prolapsed mitral valve since I was age 11 (now 69) and have lived quite well with few restrictions. Today's news is not unexpected but it is somewhat scary and disturbing! we need to do some more test which are postponed ( as I need to travel overseas for a family reunion) and then we will schedule mitral valve repair/replace. I just moved to Las Vegas a couple of years ago and don't have too many resources (caregivers). My choices will be either Cedar Sinai in LA or a surgeon in Denver, as I have a close friend in Denver (who is a physician) and she is almost insisting that I come to Denver where she can take care of me post-op.
I will keep y'all posted.
