Well, it looks like I have to have Open Heart Surgery, SOON! They give me a good chance of recovery but I am still very very afraid and fear I will not live past the operation. I need a valve replaced and it needs to happen sooner than later, like in the next month. So if this page goes silent you know why.

Good luck.
Valve replacement is a common procedure anymore, I'm sure you'll come through better than ever.
