Results!

Ok everyone! My results are in and I’ve spoken with the doctor

It will need to be monitored every 6 months to a year with an echocardiogram

I will be seen again in six months

It is a congenital heart defect meaning I was born with it

The valve in my aorta has only two cusps and people are supposed to have three

Mine is fused

So it will deteriorate over time

But we can mitigate that hopefully with care to prolong it

Low sodium

Reduced caffeine

Light exercise

Everything else normal it seems

Just need to log my bp for the next six months twice a day

The anurism and the messed up valve go hand in hand apparently

So yeah that’s where we’re at!

Thank you all for your lovely support during this time! It will be a challenge to change my life for this, but I know I can do it!
