It's always the same!

[Debrinha GT]

Hi everybody, today is a big day for me and whether it will turn out to be a good one or not, well, it's up to my echo result. Going for this exam followed by the appointment soon after makes me feel extremely restless. I know there's no point in getting anxious for it can only make things worse, and all that, but I can't help it! No matter how prepared I think I am the day before, when the time comes, I get like this. You should see it while I'm actually there, a pure nervous wreck! I had the echo done 6 months ago and that's how I found out my valve was beginning to go and here I am again, in the same situation I've been so many times before. Please, keep your fingers crossed for me at 5;00pm, Brazil time. I hope I'll have good news,but I'll post here one way or another. Thanks,

Débora

I am praying and thinking of you all day, not just one specified time. It will be fine, take a deep breath..relax.. its truly better to know what is happening in your body, then you can prepare. Remember its for precautious reasons.
Let us know and wishing the best.Love Yaps

Deborah,
I get the same way. I always want to hear good news and fear it won't be. Heading back to my pre-surgery way of life is a very scary thought. This last echo did give me a bit of bad news, that my aortic valve had sprung a leak (mild). And I found I'm still living a good life despite the news.

Best wishes with your echo.

At last!

At last!

Hi everyone, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers, they worked! As time was approaching for me to go in and get the echo done I must say I felt a bit nervous but then, when I finally got in there I began to feel quite relaxed, something I'd never experienced before in this kind of situation. It was as if I could sense that everything would turn out to be just fine. Then, once the doctor had finished with it he said right away what I'd been waiting to hear. Nothing much has changed and my mitral valve is preserved, there's no leakage at all. No need to worry about surgery for the time being and he told me to go back in three months so that he can see how things are. Just in case you're wondering, it was the cardio himself who did the echo and that's why I got the resutl so quickly, he's got his own clinic. I really trust him and I've been his patient for ten years now. I'll try and post the result here later on and even though everything is written in Portuguese, you should be able to understand most of it for the words look quite similar to English. Thank you again for thinking of me !

Deborah, just because you are "out of the woods" for surgery for a while, I sure hope you don't abandon us here on VR.com. You have become an important member of our family.

I too am so so glad you got a good report. Congratulations.
