Welcome to my day to day journal of having open heart surgery.

When I started this blog I was not sure if I would need surgery but after many tests and doctors visits I had valve replacement surgery on June 23, 2010. I was born with a congenital heart defect, a bicuspid aortic valve. My blog reads backwards (like all blogs)....not like a story in chronological order...so go all the way to the beginning (here) to read about my history and how this all got started.

Let me know you stopped by......leave me a comment :)

Chest Pain

Ok, I had been very clear with everyone so far that I had "pressure" not "pain" when describing my symptoms.  But today, while driving one of my daughter's friends home, I had chest pain.  I was driving....why is everything happening when I am driving????   It last 30 to 60 seconds....radiated up to the top of my chest from the center and down my arms...especially my right one.....I in fact feel that arm is a little weak now.    Let's hope it does not happen again......
