yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	EW, I'm so glad the problem isn't too serious and easily fixable! Yes, Louisa, it sounds weird, but our hearts and brains run on electrical impulses. When either of the systems get a 'short' then all kinds of problems can occur. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	My dear friend, I am so happy that you are "fixable". When will this procedure take place? Your son and DIL are so lucky to have you and your husband in their lives. How wonderful that you have the love and energy to raise their baby. You are blessed. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Thank you all, my dear friends, for caring and posting. And yes, " Miss Piggy" ...we speak the same language...hey we are "Boston" people! I played a round of golf with my son today...brought some beta blockers just in case...and beat the sun of a gun...the first two holes. Weeeeeell at least those two. The rest...he ploughed me under. He set me back into my care free younger years; turned up the car radio all the way, …played wild music with an unbelievable beat, and we both grooved rolling our hands, holding our noses (like in the swim) and smelling our armpits in unison. Ha Ha ! No kidding!

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Lola, what I have in medical terms is; Supraventricular Tachycardia. And it can be cured through an operation! They place a catheter inside the heart without touching it. The system tracks the electrical activity to locate the irregularity , and then guides the impulses to the correct location. The doctor told me it's heriditary. Geez...I would rather have inherited my grandmother's beautiful hair! I'll let you all know before I go to the hospital. It's a no big deal operaton. They perform it through the leg area (it's time for me to shave my legs anyway.) Amazing isn't it?

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	EW, please let us know when you are having the procedure so we can pray you right through it. Your day with your son sounds heavenly. The last time I decided to play with one of my sons, I tore my ACL. We were playing tennis and I was trying my darndest to keep up with him and it was a mistake. But it was so much fun while it lasted. That was a year and a half ago. I'd give anything to be on the courts again with any of my kids, but I think I've given that up.

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Operation day is the 12th of this month. Yikes! That's not so far away. I am a little nervous...but the alternative not to have it done is worse. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts.
