Had a scare the other day!

So I went for my yearly checkup on Tuesday. The last 3 years the Doc came in and said everything was good, no more than a 2 minute conversation. This time he comes starts talking and then starts explaining, immediately I knew something was wrong. He said that from the ultrasound it looked like the leaflets of the valve weren't closing properly meaning something was blocking it (clot)and there was some leakage, but the flow was good. So I started freaking out, as I did not want to go thru surgery again. So they quick did another ultrasound to get a better view and everything was FINE, I was relieved! I just said thank you Jesus!

He did say though that I there is leakage from a suture hole but its nothing serious and it has been like that since surgery.

Sounds like a real scare, Mike... glad it turned out to be nothing.

You should have been with me when they told me that they found another aneurysm. I went to pieces in seconds.

I'm happy for you that another view told another story.

Wow, what a relief. And a great lesson on how echos are not always accurate.

That would have freaked me out. Glad it turned out ok.
