About Me

My heart was a concern when I was little, but then I enjoyed a long period of benign Mitral valve prolapse. Lately the reguritation became worse, and here I am. I have been reading your stories for some time, sending you all my thoughts and prayers, and admiring you all more than I can say. I decided to become an official part of this community and hopefully in time be able to give back a little of the support I've found here. Thank you all.
