My
biggest fear was relieved on Tuesday
when I found there is no problem with my
mitral valve. There is some leakage, but
it is still within acceptable limits. I
was disappointed that the doctor didn't have the results from the 24-hr heart
monitor to determine if my heart has gone back into A-Fib (atrial
fibrillation). He was supposed to call
me Wednesday morning. When I didn't hear
from him, I called his nurse. She said
the results hadn't come in. I called
back yesterday and was told the monitor still hadn't been read. I've heard nothing today. My patience is wearing thin. Since I've had other issues with the support
department of this medical practice, I'm considering switching my maintenance
care back to the cardiologist in South Carolina who handled my case during the
heart surgery. I don't like to have my
life put on hold.
