Yes this me and no I am not applauding myself.This is my 'Why I oughta' look.
'Why I oughta' not let my cardiologist get under my skin.
'Why I oughta' not worry about stuff.
'Why I oughta' change a few bad habits.
'Why I oughta' wait until I get the results of the next test and then maybe get excited.
Apparently I am going to have another test because my last Echo didn't show the improvement Mildenburger was looking for. My EF factor has not changed since the surgery, this is the amount of blood being pushed out of the heart when it beats. My level is too low and the test they did was not accurate enough. The test was done in early September and now in mid-October I feel better than before. However Uncle Mildey is being cautious. Now Merete has to put up with me while I shake off the Mildenburger Syndrome which I usually suffer from after every visit. Generally lasting 2 or 3 days.
What does this all mean? Like my old Cardio Doc Henderson said you may end up with a pacemaker. So more than likely I'll end up setting off all the metal detectors at the airport.
'Why I oughta' wait until the next test results and shut up. Here's a link to some information on EF. I found it interesting and not frightening at all.
