I'm going to write all this one time, so please forgive me for doing a blanket email...

Hi, everyone. I received a call from my cardiologist about an hour ago. It seems that the latest

echocardiogram shows that my heart is very enlarged, it is leaking at the Mitral Valve, and he wants

to do a more invasive echocardiogram in hospital, and an Arteriogram, also in hospital before making

a decision about possible surgery options. That's all I know at the moment.

The doctor's office will call me with the test times and dates, but I am to cancel the sleep study, and

the heart stress test that was already scheduled for early next month. They are not what's needed,

now.

I am pretty calm about all this, for the moment. Probably in shock. But, it explains why I am so very

tired, breathless, and unable to do much of anything. That part keeps getting worse, so the doc is

anxious to get started on finding out what my options are. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for your

support and concern. Love and hugs, Mike, aka: MM, aka: Miki, aka: Minniemyno
