Heart of the matter

Hello

I haven't been on the site for a while, but thought that some of you would like an update. I have had several tests for heart problems, and to cut a story, I will need 2 bypasses and whilst having them done they will repair my mitral heart leak. I was told that it could take about 4 months before I will get this done, and I'm being referred to Papworth hospital.

I am still on 7mgs of Pred, for my adrenal insufficiency and seem to be doing well as far as that is concerned, with no aches and pains, so that's something.

regards to all
