Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have just got back from the docs who told me the results of my 24 hr monitor and my echo. My aorta is no worse than it was before and likewise for my floppy mitral valve and its consequent regurgitation. So, in effect, it's stable, so that's brilliant news! Now they just need to find out what's making me so tired but I'm just so relieved that my heart isn't any worse than it was before. Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! What a HUGE relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) he even asked me how the chickens were! He came to see me at home last time because I was in no fit state to get to the surgery and so we showed him the chooks I told him about HFW's prog tonight too, hope he watches. He's trying me on some new medication, fingers x'd but yes, a very positive start to 2008, thank you Edited January 7, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Great news Poet. do you think the therapeutic effect of your chookies has helped? well, if I'm honest they made my anxiety worse to begin with as I worried about them constantly. I've calmed down a lot now and don't worry about them nearly as much and am really enjoying them now, so I think they are beginning to help me! who needs a quack when you have a cluck!?

little chickadee Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm so pleased for you Poet. I know what it's like to have all the tests under the sun. While it's great when really horrible things come back negative, it's still frustrating when they can't tell you what actually is wrong! Hope they find out and sort out your medication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
