Congratulations on that great and encouraging report. I hope you continue to post and let everyone know how your hike in the Sierra Mountains goes.

Looking forward to hearing about your adventures with a new valve! As I have a rather worn-out valve, I can certainly appreciate the new lifestyle you now have.

Teresa,

Thank you, but I am not sure how my body will tolerate 9000 ft altitude after living at sea level for 4 years. I would be happy just to hike 1 mile slowly.

My cardiologist used a 26 mm Sapien 3 ultra resilia valve. This is a new valve. One of the reasons, was because of my age, this valve was designed to allow a future valve to be dropped inside of it.
