About Me (In My Own Words)
My aorta valve is being replaced with a cow's valve.
The surgeon said it would take about 3 hours. I am scared to death. I don't have any symptoms, I went for sleep apnea and he heard my heart murmur was extra loud, so off to a heart doctor for an echocardiogram. My valve has severe stenosis up in the top 10%. So, here I am waiting for my surgery.
