At Long Last - I have Returned
I know - that you have been watching...................I look at my Stats occasionally.
I took a break from life............since I published my book and was blogging............to chill!!!
What did I end up with? Additional health problems.............but the good news is............Is the love of my life "Sabrina" is alive and well and giving me the best support - one can imagine.
**************
I got a link request today.........
And I thought it well worth it.............
TITLE: Crime Magazine
URL: http://www.truecrimelibrary.com
DESCRIPTION: The True Crime Library is a complete resource for news,
stories and magazines about non fictional crimes.
I'm a bit tired - right now. I'll hopefully do the linking up soon

I'm sick and I need Open Heart Surgery - and/or Bypass
Here is what I wrote recently:
Oh - by the way. I've been pretty bored recently - waiting to die - so I think that I might start posting again - on this Blog.
If you approve - email me at inc_domains [at] yahoo.com - and give me some support. I could use it. I'm not doing "comments" yet.
Okay - back to the program...........
This week's Heart Catheterization test showed that I have 2 - 100% blockages and 1 - 70% - but more importantly - an ulcerative artery. My ECHO was - 15% EF
I've know that I've had CAD since my last Cath in '05. Now it is a very serious problem with this ulceration. I was not expected to survive - open heart bypass surgery - because of my low EF - back in '05..............Now - what do I do? I'm in Bangor, Maine. They won't take my case.
They suggest I go to Boston - where science might be better. I'm on Social Security Disability..........since '03 with CHF. My ECHO was 15% EF then.
Can I survive surgery with a 15% EF..........They are afraid that after being on a heart/lung machine - they won't be able to re-start my heart.
So - how is it done?
Do you know of anyone - who has survived? And can Surgeons help me?
I have Cardiomyopathy.........an enlarged left ventricule. So even though I might survive bypass repair - I'll still have a low EF - but I've done well enough with that over the past 5 years.
I have: CHF, CAD, ICD, Atrial Fibrillation, Diabetes (Type 2) Insulin Treatment, Cardiomyopathy, Sleep Apnea, COPD, GERD
I had Pulmonary Edema - 3 times in 2008....Latest - January 8th, 2009
I am on: diltiazem, imdur, carvedilol (Coreg), lisinopril, furosemide, digoxin, NPH Novolin Insulin, Ativan, aspirin, prevacid
Thank You all - for any and all input.
