Thanks!

You guys are all amazing. I think I just really needed to hear some other people tell me these things. Another thing I forgot to tell you all is that my new pcp is foreign and is hard to understand sometimes. He is from Pakistan. I didn't think my first family doc was giving me the extra attention someone with my condition needed. I guess I got what I wanted with my new doc. Someone who is going to be cautious with me and not take anything for granted and assume things. It is still just a little scarey to think there may be a chance something could be going wrong. You guys are great!

Thanks & Take Care!
Gail

P.S.
I'll let you know if I hear anything more.

Gail,
I hope you don't take this as an insult. But I had to laugh at your "Worried" post. I had read it after I read this thread. I laughed because I react the same way. I freak out a bit and then I process it with the help of others. I know my response to your appointment would have been the same as yours.

It helps so much to have this group to put things in perspective for us. When I got the echo report that my aortic valve was now leaking, in my mind, I had myself in the hospital preparing for another valve replacement. After 'posting my panic' I got some good sound advice and life became livable again.

Yup - these guys are amazing.
