Ken's Story

About Me (In My Own Words)

Was admitted to the hospital (via ER) in March. Mitral valve which was initially diagnosed three years ago with a minor leak that has now deteriorated to the point where it needs replacement. Don't know when surgery will be. Could be a year. Could be a month. I am in no danger, so waiting a bit for my lungs to improve is not an issue.
