The echo results are here

[Ross]

Dear Ross:

That is actually great news on the echo.....but you do have other things o be concerned about.

I wonder if the moderate amount of "damage" to your heart, combined with the lung and kidney issues (what a cascade of events), are what are making you feel so poorly. One problem in and of itself you might be able to tolerate, but all three could push you into the "really not well" category.

Wishing you well. - Marybeth

Marybeth this is exactly what is happening. I was concerned because of increasing breathlessness even with 4LPM of oxygen. I can do even less now then last year and I'm just not having any fun here. I'm more tired, more breathless and messed up then ever, but had fooled myself into thinking I might be getting better at some point.

Ross, like others said, it could be worse. I know you are glad to know what you are dealing with. It sounds like you still have a lot of living left. I can understand what Lynn is going through. It's so hard on our loved ones. Somtimes I catch my husband staring at me. I've often told him to quit watching me like I'm going to die any moment! Only God knows that time and I've also said that I'm going to ask God "why" but I sincerely believe by the time I get to heaven I won't even care. God bless you Ross. You are such a blessing to others and don't you forget that!
