My heart will go oooooonnnnnnandoooooonnnnn!


Yeah, good news. My doctor called me while I was on the way to work today and told me that the extra check-up we have done due to my trip to Mexico has shown that my heart has shrunk by a centimeter and my left ventricular is improving it´s productivity or something.

I didn´t follow everything, I just heard it was good but he said my heart was something like 73millimeters in size back in April when the disease was discovered and now it´s 63.

There was never any guarantee that the heart would start to improve because getting the defibrillator/pacemaker implanted only meant that the heart would be assisted in normal function. Now, it seems that the right conditions exist for it to repair some damage caused by the symptoms.

The disease will not go away unless some fantastic new discovery is made in medicine but at least I know that my heart is functioning better on it´s own than before, which might mean lowered drug expenses or less frequent surgeries to change the defibrillator.

We will see but I just thought I´d share this with all my friends out there who were with me back in april and may when the shit hit the fan.
