I know this is a tad bit late coming to ya, but "better late than never"...thus, a note to update you. At the end, you'll see a list of cruises I'll be at & some "road trip" weekends...let me know if you are in the area or want to see me sometime....
Can you believe we are a few days away from the 9-month anniversary (if you will) of my 3rd Open Heart Surgery (January 6, 2003)??!! Heh...& the Cubs are in the playoffs
.
The catheterablation done Tuesday, September 30, to get rid of irregular heart beats that possibly resulted from that OHS, went well & worked great! I'll have a checkup on Thursday, November 6, to be sure.
The ablation was delayed from it's starting time because the hospital lab "lost" or "misplaced" (not exactly sure which) the results of my PT/INR results.... A few other "comedy of errors" got me a bit unsettled before the procedure started, but all worked out fine in the end. I'm told that I woke up asking if the Cubs had lost, when they hadn't even played the 1st playoff game yet.... If that isn't bad enough, I actually asked if my sister & her boyfriend were driving my former 2000 monte carlo LS to the hospital that same night...arg...LOL! I got home about 1p, Wednesday, October 1.
My pacemaker continues to have a projected life of just about less than a year due to the apparent scarring around the leads going into the heart. The pacemaker will most-likely be moved into the chest area (from the abdomin) with leads going directly into the veins (as opposed to the outside of the heart). It will be checked at my Nov 6 appt.
I'll still have the 24-hr urine test (no, I do not need to pee 24 hours straight...I just need to bottle whatever I pee for 24 hrs) in November to determine the current protein levels (relative to the scarring in the kidneys).
What a year! So many things going on in so little time...life is good On the ondeck circle for the rest of this year....
