It seems like in today’s world that any time there is a serious medical problem, it requires multiple doctors. Oh how I long for the ONE DOC days! I feel like I have to deal with a cast of thousands for my one poor heart. Yesterday I saw my most favored cardiologist a young, smart, intelligent, personable and sensitive woman. I know that is almost an oxymoron…. a sensitive cardiologist, but I have one! The rest of them, electrophysiologist, surgeons, PA's etc. are all pretty much compassionless boobs!
My wonderful cardiologist and I talked frankly about what this new and disappointing set of cardiac circumstances are and what it means for me and my life. Although the surgery did not work and the hibernating tissue has not recovered any function, the additional blood flow has reduced the amount of angina I have. And for that alone I am so grateful, not having so much pain in my day to day life is a great gift! Although I wanted desperately to get both quantity and quality from the surgery, if I had to make a choice of one or the other I am pleased that for now the quality of my life will be better.
I have officially been given the OK to do anything I feel like doing and my body will allow me to do, with a finger wagging warning about not over doing! It is less than I hoped for, but I am learning how to celebrate and be happy with everything I have received.

Mother, you sent this too me just at the perfect time!
