Hi all, I had open heart surgery on Sept 22, I'm doing good. Had my aortic valve replaced. I had romantic fever when I was 5. It damaged my valve, they also had to rebuilt my aortia. They say It can burst at 4.5 mine was 5. I feel so lucky to be alive. Just thought I would share what is happening in my life. Kathy

Oh My, thank you for letting us know, Kathy!!! God bless you. Though you must feel better with a healthy valve the journey has been traumatic to your body. Do take care and keep us posted....Wish you were closer so I could help you in a more tangible way......Best-Andrea
