Hello again, I had an echo. My repaired mitral valve is still repaired!!! Thank God! I talked to the electrophysiologist also. He recommends doing an ablation. That would be done around the end of October.

Hello, I did not even know there was another site. I did not desert this site for another one. I deserted this site for hours of computer time spent on trying to learn this new technology they expect us to use at work. Not half the fun as here. I still pop in once in a while. I can't imagine...

When I talked to my cardiologist after he had seen the results of the EKG, he said it was not Atrial Fibrilation. He said Atrial Flutter was different. He said this was usually easier to get rid of than AFib. The electrophysiologist said the same thing. I guess we shall see. Praline

I had an EKG and I have Atrial Flutter, HR about 107. I just talked to my cardiologist. He increased my Toprol from 75mg-100mg /day. and I have to go get a blood test to check thyroid functioning tomorrow before 4 o'clock. He wants me to go have an echocardiogram to make sure there is no...

Duffey, We evacuated to Fredricktown for Katrina but I had not been on this site yet. I just found this site when I was diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation after Katrina. Praline

I remember going to work that Friday not even worried about THAT storm, it was heading toward Florida. I came home Friday after school and it was coming toward us. We had an appointment at the vet Saturday morning. We did not dare leave before because if we went to a hotel, the dogs may need...

Beautiful Ross! I am going to share this with my principal at school. I'm sure you don't mind. She is in her mid 30's and just won her battle over hodgkin(sp?0 lymphoma. She will love this.

I got my thyroid biopsy results today and was very happy to hear that the nodule is just that, a benign nodule.:smile2: I feel like I spent part of my summer in limbo. First waiting for an appointment to get an ultrasound. Then waiting for the result of the ultrasound and finding out that I...

I am glad to know that everything seems to be okay. And sorry, it you get some cool air from somewhere, it will not be from Louisiana.

Happy birthday!!!!! Wishing you a wonderful year.

Hello, Had that fine needle thyroid biopsy done this morning. I am happy that it is over with.There was nothing to it. This doctor sure is very skilled at what she does. Now I am waiting for the results which I should get by the middle of next week. She said that if I get called for a second...

Bed, That sure is good news! You sound like you are doing great. I am so happy for you. Enjoy those steaks.

Deb, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. The same thing happened to someone from church a couple of months ago. She was at the church fair, went home, sat at her computer, and the next morning her daughter found her slumped over the computer. She was 47. The autopsy showed mitral valve...

I am scheduled for a fine needle thyroid biopsy this Friday. As I said in another post, when I went to the endocrinologist at the end of May he found nodules on my thyroid. He sent me for an ultrasound and now he wants a biopsy. All the blood work came back fine. I am nervous about the biopsy...

Agilitydog, I am not on coumadin, so one less thing to worry about.

When I went to see an endocronologist(sp?)at the end of May he said he could feel nodules on my thyroid. He sent me for an ultra sound. I found out today that he wants me to go have a fine needle biopsy. Any of you ever had one done?

Thank you for the update and the wet kisses. I hope everything continues to improve.

Congratulations !!!!!!! Wishing you many more years...

Hello, I have hardly been on this site or any other site for a while. The end of the school year is always like this... very busy. I just got on tonight and realize that you had had your surgery. I hope you have a very uneventful recovery. Which Boston hospital were you in?

I came across this today. I thought I would share. http://www1.yadvashem.org/exhibitions/album_Auschwitz/mutimedia/index.html
