Evening all, warm night. Ahem. Well i wish i was the bearer of good news, nothing awful has happened mind you. The saga with my heart continues. I am being kept a very very close eye on, in and out of A&E like a yo yo, but still manage to land back home again. Some days i feel fantastic, and others i can barely make it to the shop without getting breathless, which is 5 mins away.I am not allowed to cycle, as i faint, another story, one which involves a cup of coffee and my new apartment's walls,slippers, and lino. I swim but bob about like lost turd after about half a length.I cannot walk and talk on the phone anymore, i have to sit and chat, whilst dribbling into my incontinence pads, whilst avoiding getting my tartan electric one slipper wet. And so..... My heart is being medically remodelled at the minute,to see whether any drug regime can reduce the size of it, my angina is under control, which is good, cause that frightened me quite a lot. Waking up at 3am with chest pain and sweating is a bit whoeeeerrrrr. Yet still i remain in pretty good spirits,i've learned that any emotional stress,puts me into heart failure very quickly and off i am again in A&E. Family life is fabulous, my daughter, such a treat, though i have passed on the condition to her, friends are my air, my life. I know what is coming soon, and i'm totally prepared for it, once that mechanical valve is in, i will be like a new person. I wish i didn't have all the other rhythm problems to go with it, as it makes things much more complicated. IVA as far as i am concerned is deader than i, and once i get everything back, and i mean everything i can get the hospital social worker to sort things out. ( get me ) I am off work indefinately. My days are filled with very early mornings,and walks in the park, babysitting, reading books, and visiting museums. I am officially old. Much fondnest to all.

It's good to hear from you Quark, and I hope you'll soon be posting with good news about your health.

I'm sorry that your daughter has the same condition, but as Helen says hopefully medicine will improve.

You take care of yourself and keep posting so that we know how you're getting on xxx

Just caught up with this Quark and lovely to 'see' you again. You are having a bit of a rough time of it aren't you? My hubby knows all about the angina attacks as well - they are very scary and he has been hospitalised with it before now. Hopefully you will be sorted soon and be back to normal. I presume you will be able to return to work then?

Sorry your daughter has the same condition but hopefully they will be able to do something for her as well. I'm so glad you are getting on ok with your family.

As for the IVA, you're doing the right thing letting it go.

Enjoy this lovely sunshine.

Thanks all, Jan it's relatively a rough time, but i've learned not to panic or stress if i suddenly feel unwell, hospital is 5 minutes away, my neighbour across the hall is a cardiac intensive care nurse, i have everything i need to hand in any emergency. I have been very worried in the past especially waking up in the night with chest pain, that little red bottle goes under the pillow. I cannot afford to get stressed, so i'm probably the most relaxed i've ever been. This sunshine is so gorgeous, what a lovely weekend so far. Will keep you all updated. I'm in great spirits.

As long as you are happy, that's the main thing.
