Who's My Valentine? The Cardiologist....that's who =(

Well after waiting 4 long weeks since having my last heart ablation, I finally got to visit my cardiologist today, or rather ElectroPhysiologist.  How ironic, having a heart check up on Valentine's Day.  To begin with, I was not pleased to hear that I would have to wait a month before I would be seen again, knowing the ablation did not completely work and knowing that this was going to be a pointless check-up.

Anyways, we went and the doctor changed my medication once again since my heart has started to race more frequently. Meaning my body is adjusting to the medicine.  This will be my 4th anti-arrhythmic medicine, and it better work because the list is wearing thin.  Also he promised to call his friend who works at John Hopkins, which is up in Baltimore, Maryland and see when is best for us to visit.  I have been itchin' to go to John Hopkins for some time now, they are the #1 specialist when it comes to ARVD.  And this is why I hate waiting 3-4 weeks in between each appointment, especially when there has been no progress.  It is simply time wasted. Time that could of had me up there or attempting to get up there by now.  But the plan is now in motion and hopefully within the next couple weeks I will know a more definite time of when I will be able to be seen by the doctors of John Hopkins.

Oh yea, the doctor finally agreed to sign disability papers for me since I have been out of work for four months, and he believes that it is highly unlikely that I will be able to return to work before the summer is out.  This was pretty damaging news and put the seriousness of the situation into perspective, but at least I'll be able to collect disability.  The only thing I can hope for at this point is for a successful treatment at John Hopkins without the need of a Heart Transplant.  The thought of that just makes me cringe.

So that's it for now, thanks for reading and enjoy your day. Much Love
