Well after a week of high stress where my liver levels went through he roof due to imuran and it looked like my heart surgery planned for 6 months wouldn't come off, I am off soon to fly off to get my heart fixed, I hope. Got a call at 9pm last night from hospital to say your clotting factor is ok so you can go ahead and we are organising enbrel on compassionate grounds for when you get back. So I will be incommunicado for a few days until I get home again.

Probably too late for you to see this SOM but I'm pleased you can go ahead & all the very best anyway.

That's wonderful news about enbrel too! All that frustration must have just melted away in a moment, really pleased for you. Let's hope it's the one that sorts you out! :)

Thanks everone. Just a qucik reply to say it all went well. I had develooed another pathway since the ladt ablation so they think they have gotten them all. They reminded me of a group if boys who got so excited about my unsual heart problem haha it was funny listening to them. Freaked them out when the bp cuff had a blow out and they were so involved in what they were doing. Get out tomorrow and a long wait for plane home. Next stop rheumatology to find out what next.
