I now have a significant part of my heart that is mechanical...so much so that I tick like a timex watch.
When it's quiet and you sit next to me, you can hear it. My point is that I went to see a doctor in the beginning for something, don't even remember now..think it was throat problem or something, I was examined and sent home with a good bill of health. When in all reality I was suffering the onset of CHF.
My ankles were so swolen and I was litterally drowning in my own juices you might say. A few days later, in the hospital nearly dead. Oh I remember..I was taking a thorough medical exam for my bi-yearly physical since I was licensed to carry extremely hazadous chemicals over the highway.
At one time this last couple of years I had as many as 8 doctors tending to me for various conditions, all at the same time. That's crazy, but that is the way things are these days. I dare you to find me an average MD that knows squat about nutrition.

Anyway...I'll get off my soapbox now.

Just glad to be alive.
