It is official: I no longer have heart failure! So says the PA who examined me an hour ago. I don't see them again until next May. If anything changes I am to call. She said they can do quite a bit over the phone. She also said that Mayo in AZ has a top rated heart failure team now--it wasn't so a couple years ago--and Mayo is only 10 min from our winter digs.
Tomorrow the rhythm kings--the shock docs, the ablators. They are important because only they can take me the toxic rhythm drug I am on (Amiodarone). It is toxic to eyes, lungs and a third area which I have forgotten. She thinks they may fade out the dosage. We'll see. I have only been on it for 3 months, well within the range of acceptability. When I go off that I will have to be cognizant of speeding heart.
More news tomorrow....
