not bad... waiting to hear from the cardiologist...
forgot to add that I have a hernia also...another surgery...and when the band slipped it caused an ulcer...
its a toss up with my heart...I have a bad aortic valve, it doesnt open fully, so the left side of my heart works harder...they can fix it with a surgery, but it wasnt bad enough to justify the surgery yet....yet... I hope to know tomorrow what the test results were.
last July they said it was opening to 1.5 cm sq...( should be nearly 5 cm sq)
in february it was 1.4 cm sq...they dont want to operate til its 1 cm sq
they have me on 4 meds for blood pressure and angina...and I sometimes get lightheaded walking around...the dr is trying to adjust the dosages

Thanx Brent...I am still smiling...take more than that to drag me down.
my biggest worry right now is getting the cobra insurance going, having a hard time with the sign on page.
the week in the hospitals (2), plus 2 ambulance rides and surgery was nearly $110k
