Help Support Valve Replacement Forums:
About 7 years ago (around 2001) a prolapse on my mitral valve was noticed. No big deal at first, just had to take antibiotics for the teeth cleanings. In December of 2004 I developed endocarditis. A strep colony had taken up housekeeping on my mitral valve. It wasn't discovered until about February of 2005. By then the entire valve was gone. On May 12, Dr. Ball from St. Thomas Nashville installed a St. Jude valve. It's been ticking away ever since.
