OT back from my hospital visit

First of all I want to thank you for your good wishes and vibes. RCB power at work again.

I got to see the Professor of Cardiology. We had a good satisfying talk.

He asked how I felt and did I think I was worse. I said that I was no worse than my initial visit before the tests. I still get angina when I climb up slopes, too many stairs or walk to fast.

He did say that the tests did show further signs of narrowing and the only way to find out were it actually was, was to have another angiogram. If I had that he said I may and only may could have further angioplasty done. However the risk of heart attack would be present whilst having it done. He went on to say that he did not think that any further treatment would increase my life expectancy.

He was very pleased with my last fasting blood tests, he said they were excellent on all counts. He said that I had obviously taken charge of my disability and was doing the right things.

So we agreed to leave things as it was but if the cold weather started bothering me they would look at the options again. I did have another blood test to check the blood count because being on blood thinners can cause anaemia.

So I have what we call an open appointment and if things deteriorate I can call them and they will see me straight away.

He also agreed with my travel to Malta and wished us a good time and a Happy Golden wedding anniversary.

So as long as I do not get worse I shall live to pass on more crafts.

Thanks again for your vibes, as I sat in the waiting room I imagined you all coming up to me with a hug.

Love Shirley

Hi, Shirley. I missed your original post, but I'm glad your doctor's visit turned out OK. And *congrats* on your Golden wedding anniversary. A trip to Malta sounds very romantic.

I am glad he was candid about that. I think it's sad when folks suffer under treatment only to "buy" a small amount of time.

I'm sending vibes for good health~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!

Lucky us for that gift!

I thought of you today while I was working.

I hope it ends up with not having to look at the options, but just being well. And have a great trip to Malta!

Oh Shirley, you doll! And after hugging you we sat around beading and chatting. (And passing low-fat cookies around.) I'm glad your news was as good as it was, and that you got attention from a good doctor and have that standing open appointment. {{{{{{{{{{{{{Shirley}}}}}}}}}}}}} ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

And tripping over me while I held your hand! ;=)

I've been thinking about you all day and hoping for your doctor would give you news you can live with and so he has! I'd jump for joy but I have to take it easy for 48 hours lest my mouth surgery (I get to keep my molar after all, yea!) be for naught.

Love you, Shirley.

I'm glad everything turned out well for you, Shirley - and I was especially glad to hear that your Anniversary trip to Malta doesn't have to be post-poned. :) Here's praying that the angina never gets any worse and that you have many, many, many, MANY more years of crafting! hugZ, Linda

Oh, I'm glad that though it's perhaps a bit worse, it's not terrible news, Shirley! I have a feeling that you will be with us for a good while to come.
