I met with my Cardiologist this morning and he gave me the A-OK.
I'll be back at my desk tomorrow and on-the-road Thursday.
I had an Echo-Cardiogram and an EKG.
Doctor Massey said my heart is better today than it's been for the past 10 years.
My MVP is gone (the whole point of my operation), and it's beating normally.
I'm exercising (walking) and I lost about 15 pounds and aim to keep it off.
I am also restricted to lifting no more than 15 pounds for the next month or so.
Even though they're weaning me off some meds, controlling my blood pressure, and I'll still have some follow-up Doctor visits,
this will be my last post for a while.
I want to thank everybody for their support and prayers.
It obviously did some good.

Thumbs Up !
It's been 4 weeks and two days since my surgery (but who's counting?).
I visited my Surgeon today, as scheduled.
He gave me a good bill-of-health, and I feel really good.
My Heart valve is functioning well and my rhythm is 'in tune'.
I also have an appointment with my Cardiologist next Tuesday.
I surely expect he will be pleased with my progress and I hope to return to work next Wednesday.
Ta Ta for now.

I've Got Rhythm - but, still can't dance
This morning I had my Cardio Version ("Shock").
Preparation took 2 hours - procedure took 2 minutes.
My heart rhythm is back to normal.
We're praying my heart maintains the correct rhythm.
At one point, a 'Nurse' came in from the next room with a rectal thermometer behind her ear.
She was patting her pockets as she said "now where did I put my Pencil?"
I wouldn't want to be the guy in the next room.

My Birthday
Today was my Birthday. I'm 39 ... or I wish I was.
Tomorrow I have to go in to the hospital for the "shock" treatment (Cardio Version) to reestablish my rhythm.
They use the Paddles just like on TV, but I'll be doped up with happy juice and I won't feel a thing (they say) .
It's no big deal, except it will take about 6 hours of my time. Yuk !
I'm all 'charged up' about it.
We'll let you know the results in a day or two.
