About Me (In My Own Words)
Diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse since 1777
Had yearly check ups - In 2004 I was informed that I had more regurgitation and that I should have the valve repaired the sooner the better.
I continued to seek second, third opinions.
In In 2012 @ Cleveland Clinic. They suggested to watch for symptoms, since I was asymptomatic, and have check ups twice a year.
On 3/15/16 I was admitted to the ER with Afib. That lead to the Valve repair operation 3 days later. Minimal invasive Robot assisted operation.
6 days later discharged on 3/23/16, and now home recuperating. Jesus has blessed me beyond words. Me a sinner that does not deserve such compassion. Thank God for his mercy!
