More good news

I thought I'd take some liberties with my work time and write a quick post. I went to the cardiologist again today for a follow up appointment after my abortive cardioversion two months back and a month of amiodarone.

It was more of the same with an ECG and echo, I didn't even see the ECG but I assume it was fine, the echo concluded that my heart was of a normal size and my Ejection Fraction was 50% which is fantastic! So now it seems that my only real problem is my heart rythm which misbehaves from time to time, and still doesn't allow me to have full capacity while exerting myself.

I was however able to get hold of the report for the cardioablation that my previous cardiologist performed in 2004. Dr Guerra is going to contact an electrophysiologist and we will consider another ablation as the technology has improved greatly in the passed few years, but only if the other doctor thinks its worth the effort.

So perhaps there is some more hospital time in my near future, but if it is successful then I will feel a lot better ALL the time!

As for my MSc, it's pogressing slowly, but progressing, I had to take a bit of a break to catch up on the reading that I should have done, thats pretty much done now and I should be able to continue writing, and hopefully be finished by the end of the year latest.

All said the news is encouraging, I'm not going to say I'll write more often again, cause I probably won't but I'll try :)
