I'm a little more knowledgeable of my heart condition.

I have a multiple of issues. The first being Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome.
It is an adnortmaility of the hearts electrical system. This causes palpitations, light headeness, loss of consciousness, chest pain, fatigue and general feeling, is there going to be a tomorrow?

I spent 5 hours on the operating table Jan 22. They do this by putting electric wires through your main artery in your groin. In my case they tried both sides of my legs. Its called radio frequency ablation.

With my past back surgeries I was in PAIN the whole time while on the operating table. They keep you somewhat awake during this procedure. But because of my inability to lie on my back for more that 5 minutes they had to severely keep me in the o-zone.

Loaded with this many drugs does not feel good, its like having a two day hangover except instead of booze its excess medicine.

Anyway, the surgery was not successful and I will have to go under the knife again in early April.

My other issue is that my heart is only working at 62-63%. I have a heart virus. This problem I will just have to learn how to live with. Nothing can be done. The good news is I do not need a pacemaker or ICD at this time.

So in summary boys I'm still hurting big time, however still functioning. I try to check in on the site every couple of days to see whats new and going on.

Later, time for rest...
