Feeling well

Hi all well life is always a rollercoaster living with CHD and heart Faillur but last week really tested all my resolves. So much info to take in I thought my head was going to explode. There was good and bad news. The bad news they found a clot in the right side of my heart, I have 2 stone to lose in 3 months and I need to go to LGI in 2 weeks for another ECHO and my INR is way out of range so I’m on Delta parring jabs. Anyway on a positive note I have managed to get rid of bladder catheter and am off my oxygen. I’m also in a much better place mentally as well. I have my cardiologist from Leeds phoning me late this morning and Newcastle are phoning me in a months time

Well done on the good news and as always you will overcome the not so good bits. You are going to look like a bee stung pin cushion again 😒 but all for the good. Stay strong, you can beat this little hiccup. Love xxxxx

Good to get an update, Tori. 🙂 Yes, life is hardly ever straight forward. There are always ups and downs and sometimes more downs than ups, but you have a good attitude, Tori, and a good team to support you. Keep it up. 🧡
