Fingers crossed please...

Post: # 202115Post growingthings »

I'm seeing my cardiologist this afternoon to have a 'post MRI discussion"

I'm .42mm off needing to have an aortic replacement, and I'm bricking it for want of a better phrase :pale: :iconbiggrin:

even though I know the surgery will change my quality of life for the better, I've only known for a year and it's hard to digest (as you can imagine!)

At 31, heart surgery was one of the things NOT on my list to do before I was 40 but there you go :roll: :lol: :lol:

Having Marfan Syndrome diagnosed has been the 'best worst news' I've ever had if that makes sense, but it's all feeling a bit scary right now...thanks for letting me get it off my chest here (no pun intended :lol: )

Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't come online later with a date for surgery....it really will mess up being down the allotment won't it?! :mrgreen:

Everything crossed and healing vibes sending your way :hugish:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

:cheers: :cheers: *dancing round the room doing a jig* :cheers: :cheers:

No change, a BIG discussion about something called valve sparing surgery (as scary as it sounds :shock: :lol: ) but ultimately, no date for surgery :cheers:

I get my life back for another 9 months, then have another MRI and put up with a nervous tummy all over again :? :lol: :lol:

Thanks for your wishes, it's good to know you're all on side, it really boosted me to read your posts.

Now where did I put that watering can? .... (:sunny: :sunny: too much sun! Rain we need rain! :sunny: :sunny:)
