heart pain
sup lj,
just a note regarding my stay in the hospital the other night and the findings of my cardiologist. i woke up with crazy chest pains and clammy hands and such. i called my boss and she made me go in. i stayed the night and...well...seems i'll be needing a new aortic semilunar valve here one of these days. hopefully not too soon(as in the next 2 years) seeing murse school starts in jan. '06. my doc said it'll prolly be more like 5 - 20 years. regardless of when, it doesn't look like there is an if. baring any new technologies, i'll get to choose between a bovine(fitting for any of you who believe me to be a pig), or mechanical. i think i'd choose the latter.
anywho, doc says i prolly won't be dropping dead, but that I must lose 30+ lbs and drop my cholesterol as precautions. also, i'm sposta limit my alcohol intake, but that hasn't been all that easy.
it's all kinda heavy and i don't think i've registered it all yet. reading about the problem i've found that it could be why i've always felt tired and maybe what leads to occasional depressions and/or anxieties. i don't know. what ever the case, i reckon i need to get my shit together, get in shape, and hopefully my symptoms will subside.
