I’m getting released today from the hospital. I had my defibrillator wire removed this past Wednesday. A very delicate procedure considering the wire has been in for 17 years. The wire has damaged my Tricuspid valve in my heart allowing blood to back up into my liver and cause cardiac cirrhosis. Hopefully, I’ll now qualify for a clinical trial to repair my valve without open heart surgery and my cirrhosis will be halted. Thanking God for each step going forward.

Hi Blue

You are something of a pioneer to have had that implant for so many years. They have come a long way with those valve replacements so hopefully you will get to a solution soon.
