TFlan,
Definitely a good news, bad news story.
First the bad news: sorry you need cardiac surgery.
Now the good news: very glad you found out about it this way. There
are much worse ways to discover you need a valve job.
Salud!

Well, this ought to get it going.
About a month ago I passed out on the course. Severe dehydration, it
was thought. Temps were really hot here in the CA Central Valley -
the Tuesday before the "event" temp was 108 deg. I felt fine apres
golf but on Wednesday I drank only a single bottle of H20, so the
following day the reservoir was pretty much empty. Clunk! Out on the
4th green. 3 docs agreed I should see a cardiologist "just to be
sure." So 2 weeks ago I endured a visit with a cardio guy, got a
ultrasound test, EKG, etc., and was told an angiogram was necessary.
Last Wednesday the angiogram showed a defective aortic valve. Oops.
So at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning I head to the heart center for
surgery to replace the valve.
There, that should brighten everyone's day.
