Richard Munson Man, talk about valves. They may need a chain saw. Maybe do a valve job on the car while there. Pray for a successful surgery. You look very healthy.

John Russo Too funny!! Thanks 👍

Terry Tannenbaum I've been there, done that. Dr. Adams and his team are the best! If anyone can repair a valve, it's him. I'm coming up on my 3-year anniversary.

Richard Munson John, i still contend you look great for a man awaiting a complete valve job and overhaul. I wish you nothing but the best. You have a great attitude and that is big when heading into heart surgery and after.

But give the middle finger to the current situation and you will be kicking butts pretty soon after Mount Sinai does its magic.... Best of luck!!! You got this!

William Trankle How's your sink faucet at home? Maybe get that replaced while you're in the hospital!

The waiting game is in full swing! I met Dr. Adam’s from Mount Sinai last week who will be one of my surgeons in my upcoming complex OHS. He explained my situation and will be repairing my mitral valve which was damaged due to a bout of endocarditis. The second part of my surgery will be a Ross procedure on my aortic valve performed by Ismail El-Hamamsy. I am so blessed to have the top surgeons in their respective fields handling this operation. Since there will be 2 surgeons and it needs to be performed relatively soon, things need to get juggled around on their end to make this happen. I am so happy to be a part of these amazing Facebook groups:
Aortic Valve Replacement Group
Mitral Valve Repair Patients Group & Endocarditis Support Group as well as www.HeartValveSurgery.com which have helped me through my journey into surgery and will continue through my recovery. Bless you all!
