About Me (In My Own Words)
Diagnosed with angina in February of 2018 due to calcium deposits on aortic valve. Catheterization in early August showed no blockages and normal heart. C.T . Scan in early September in preparation for valve replacement led my Surgeon to want to do replacement quickly and I was scheduled for surgery 9/12/20018. Nature has intervened with a hurricane slated to come ashore exactly where I live in N.C. With uncertainty of what we would come home to,or would we have a home the decision was made to slipping a week.
Now we wait for Florence to hit and wonder what the weekend brings.
