Health Update, yet more good news.
Woot. So had my appointment with the surgeon today. He agreed that I don't need to have surgery now! Yay! He said (after I asked) that there was "greater than 50/50" chance I'd need it at some point but whatever. Definitely not now, and possibly never.
What I have is a "sub aortic membrane". Basically it's an extra flap of skin that forces my heart to work harder to push the blood through that area. But for now it's not hard enough to worry to much about.
Plus he said that I'll "probably have symptoms before sudden death" which... umm. Is good. Heh, I'm pretty sure he meant "long before" and whatever. If he'd actually thought that was a concern he would have recommended the surgery.
So all in all, good! So long as I don't suddenly die I'm in good shape. :)
