Thallium Viability Testing | Nuclear Medicine Procedures
This is next on my plate
My life changed February 23rd, 2004. That's the day Kevin 1.0 expired. The following day, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, the beginning of Kevin 2.0. On March 5th, I had open heart surgery, a quintuple bypass. On March 18th I had an implantable cardio-defibrulator installed. That began Kevin 3.0. Those are the facts. Now I have a new life to live. Changes to make. New chances. This blog chronicles the details and the process, at times informative, fascinating, funny and dull.

I had my first cardiology appointment today at the Minneapolis Heart nstitute (MHI). My Dr. is Esther Shao M.D. I like her.
Overall my numbers are impressive. But she did notice one of my valves was inefficient. She is going to want to keep an eye on it. A pig valve may be in my future.
She does want me to lose weight.
I see her again in 6 weeks with some tests just prior.
On the device front, they like to check it every 90 days. To that end, I am going to get a phone device for half of them. I can have the others done out in Chaska.
