I had a doctor appointment with my Cardiologist yesterday. In August, his assistant detected a slight murmur.
They then scheduled an echo for yesterday. My imagination went into overdrive. STINTS? CABG? BALLOONS? PIG VALVES? Darn internet LOL.
Well the results were better than expected. While "CURED" is an overstatement, due to my stability of a period greater than five years, the DR released me from his care. My followups will be with a NP in the CHF clinic. THIS IS GREAT NEWS!
As a result, I am going to be archiving this blog. This won't be the last post, however. If anything changes, I will post a followup. I also want to leave an outline for people or friends of people wondering what to do.
My key beliefs are :
1) KNOWING IS BETTER THAN NOT KNOWING. The stress of not knowing but suspecting only makes things worse.
2) DO WHAT THEY SAY! Take the meficine, do the excersises, follow the eating plan. The death stats on people that don't is 100% of course we all die, but please, in our own time.
3) PAY ATTENTION but don't be a hypochondriac. This is very hard. VERY HARD! did I say hard? Near impossible,
4) If you want to reach me by email click here: FromBLOG@FILLIPS.NET

please protect yourself,
