Two years since my (second) valve surgery (AVR Edwards Bovine). Everything is going great. Just returned from a long game of pickup soccer and feeling good!

Had an Echo this morning and everything is looking good for the Bovine valve (good = same as last time, trace leaking which is not concerning the cardiologist).

Goodish News - The surgeon reviewed my TEE and says that the leak is minor, in the center of the valve, and is not uncommon in larger bovine valves. I also returned from a great hiking trip in the alps to celebrate 1 year (among other things)

I was just thinking about you today!! How is everything going? Sounds like a fun trip to the Alps! All is well here, sorry to hear about the small leak, any business trips coming up that bring you to Detroit?
