About Me (In My Own Words)
My heart condition was first discovered last December "by chance" following an abdominal CT scan for another issue (the scan went higher up than normal).
I have been to the Frankel Cardiovascular Center at U of M for tests and consults 4 times this year where they confirmed that I have a bicusped aortic valve, a 57 mm aortic root aneurysm, and a bovine arch.
My aortic valve will be replaced and my aortic artery will be replaced from the new valve to about mid-arch.
Update June 9, 2018:
My heart surgery was scheduled for June 11, 2018, but it was postponed to a TBD date.
Update June 13, 2018:
My heart surgery is rescheduled for July 2.
