About Me: Female, 62, Las Cruces, NM, member since Jul 2007
56 years old, female. I've had three (3) Open-Heart Surgeries with the most recent in March/06 for Aortic valve replacement in Houston, TX (St. Luke's Hospital). I was just told a few weeks ago that my artificial Cooley Cutter Mitral valve is showing signs of failure
...
[More] & I should consider having it replaced. Also told that the risks involved are very high because of the number of times I have had Open-Heart in the past. Very much afraid right now of going through a 4th OHS but when it comes to that point, I will do it!
Interests: Anything that has to do with the Heart.
