green light for surgery

[jjay32]

so after being in the waiting room for 10 years, my cardiologist has given the green light to take care of my bi-cuspid aortic valve (stenosis) and ascending aneurysm.. I have not posted in awhile, but I will try to be more faithful in the future! Now I need to pick a surgeon and hospital (although I am pretty sure which one I want to use in the Spokane area). I really appreciated the advice I have gotten over the years from the forum members and hope I can contribute my experiences to those that have questions.
