Help Support Valve Replacement Forums:
Had aneurysm at 6cm,pathology showed granulomatous aortitis after aorta was removed and replaced in '89. In '08, got endocarditis from staph. lugdunensis, which almost killed me(brain bleed) I don't know how I got it, and that's bothersome. Cardioversion for Afib 5/12, sternal wires removed 11/12.
Second cardioversion that didn't work in 2014. Now in constant A-fib. Mitral valve leaking severe after mitral repair seems to have failed. Cardiologist will try to keep me from 4th surgery.
Obedience, Rally with Ch smooth fox terrier, love my ocicat. I have a green thumb and like gardening(flowers, fruits and veggies), I perform at least 4 times a year with a great wind symphony. Love to go to the beach.
