Bio

Hello Everyone! I recently moved from the Portland ME area to Englewood FL this past fall (2016). This is to be, my husband John, and my permanent home now.
I am the past President of Chapter 339. This July , it will be 8 years since my open heart surgery(for mitral valve repair). I am on my third pacer/defibrilater. the first pacer was implanted in 1990, the 2nd in 2002 . Then came the full retraction surgery in 2010 with the new "Cadillac" model!
I was born with a congenital heart defect (coming up on 62 years ago) and had a brother who died from a more severe congenital condition at 2 yrs old.
So I have lived with heart disease my whole life. I am willing to share my outlook and experiences will everyone .
