In 2000 they put in an AICD and replaced the valve with a St.Judes mechanical valve. I have cardiomyopathy, chf, type 2 diabetes insulin dependant since 2000. In 05 I had complications from a cath and had a femoral bleed leaving me with a dead left femoral nerve. It took 2 1/2 years to learn how to walk again.
