I've accidentally deleted this information once already. This is my second entry.
I don't ever remember charting a heart operation in my life figuratively speaking, and was shocked and dismayed to find stenosis in my aortic valve. My doctor found a murmer and as you all know the rest is history. During the operation, they discovered I had a normal tri-cuspid valve but the valve unfortunately was stenotic.
As a new retiree and getting used to the retired life this was not on my radar and now there was a change of plans. Now I had to focus on my health and learn about heart issues.
One revelation I can talk about is the issue about privacy. I really didn't favor talking about this to anyone but after posting and listening to others it felt good and healing in a way. I have found truth and solace in talking about my fears and wonder how I ever managed in the past.
Thank you everyone!
