My mother has to have her aortic valve replaced
Advertisements [?]
Yes, 2004 hasn't been shitty enough. Today we got the news that her heart is in pretty bad shape. She's been battling a horrible sinus infection for more than a week, and I finally got her to go to the doctor on Monday. They did an echo cardiogram and they're running some other tests, but the doctor thinks she's going to need to have it replaced.

I feel like my whole family is wearing a cosmic "Kick Me" sign. I'm so worried about her. She's going to be 63 next week and she's been in fragile health for several years.

I've been looking on the web for information on this surgery, but I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's had it, or from anyone whose family members or friends have had it.

And by the way, I have officially "had it" as well. :cry:
