About Me (In My Own Words)
i was born with a congenital bicuspid heart murmur. when i was born the doctors said that i would out grow it. i did not know until 15 years ago that i had aortic stonsis, so he sent me to a cardiologist. the doctor agreed with my family doctor. he did a stress on me and i did not do very well on it , but i had echos done every year. he did a heart cath on me and 10 days later i had alot of blood clots from my groin all the way to my knees, where he stuck the cather in to do the test , so i am on blood thinners. it has been 15 1/2 years now and he said i have to have it done now, but i work in school , so i am having the valve surgery in May/june 2010. i have a appt with him dec 3, 2009, so i don't know when he listens to it he may have me do it then. but some one told me you have to be off blood thinners 3 months before surgery. so i don't know. i cry every night, wondering if i should do it. like i told me mom if i lived back in the early 1900's there would be nothing they could do for me , maybe it is my time to go. no one knows.i am very depressed. my husband said "i was going to have it done he would be right beside me." so i wish i knew what god want me to do . i am very depressed! i go to work and act like nothing is wrong.very confused now.cry,cry,cry, is all i do at home.
