Alma Mater I'm okay, not really any news. I went to the Heart Institute, had more tests, but no answers yet. I won't see my doctor until the 25th. :( For now, I'm assuming that I have POTS, because my symptoms are still bad, but if my valve was as bad as I feel, they wouldn't be letting this drag on so long. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.
Sophia Ridley Hi Alma, I hope that the 25th brings better clarity.
Alma Mater Thanks, Shirley. I appreciate it so much, I really do. How is Lou doing?

Shirley Turner He is going well he is enjoying fishing but he never catches anything! He works all day caring for his mango orchard. No symptoms for about a month now. Such a big change in his personality chilled and happy like he was before he got crook. (symptomatic) However on Wednesday he is going for a neck and carotid scan to check for any blockages.
We are still waiting for an appointment at the older persons clinic to have his short term memory assessed before any possible surgery. We do not know what the cardiologist has decided at this stage. So we are worry free at the moment and just enjoying life.
Alma Mater Good, so glad to hear that he is doing well and symptom free! I will pray for his scans and tests to ... Read more
