About Me

I have had mitral valve disease for many years. At this point in time, due to increased fatigue, shortness of breath and some pretty telling echocardiogram pictures, it is now time to have my valve repaired. Like most people here, I come to this community with hope and apprehension. Thanks, Adam, for providing a place for us to gather strength, education, thoughts and prayers.
