About Me (In My Own Words)
Fainted at my desk at work. Taken to ER. High moderate just below severe stenosis of my bicuspid aortic valve discovered. My trainer, my wife and practically everyone I know was shocked (me too) because I’m the healthiest person they know. Having mini-thoracotomy March 29th. My aortic enlargement of 4.2 was classified as a dilation and so we’re leaving it alone and will watch it. I’m really excited that what I thought were symptoms of aging is a fixable valve replacement.
Very confident in Dr. Malaisrie and his team at Northwestern and I’m preparing for surgery. Exploring ERAS program.
