Richard Munson One tip i found is that at my doctors office after they do my annual echo i can read everything they found on my patient portal. I can then look at it as well as the last one i had to make my own comparisons. After my mitral valve surgery i started paying closer attention and noticed that i had an aortic aneurism that was admittedly only 4.1 cm. When i asked about it, they said yes, but its no where near the dangerous stage, plus you are 6-5 which makes it less critical. I actually said, do you think maybe i might have wanted to know. Some folks want to know very little, i want to know everything. I said at one point to my cardiologist who is great by the way that he must hate to see me coming with my list of questions. He surprised me and said he prefers it.

Replaced Aortic bicuspid valve
Released from hospital 10/19
First 36 hours were very hard and I feel like I barely made it out, but after that, it all got better.
Don't give up, it'll get better!
