The Cyber Kazbá

So I went to my heart doctor again this last week. I have to say its a huge blessing to be in a country with universal health care. I paid less than $2 for what usually costs around $1,000 in US. I have an English speaking doctor who is under a team of cardiologists who are world renown.

Since this was only my second visit to this doctor I think she is still in the get to know the patient stage. And with the complexity of my condition and its long history (hallelujah) there is still a lot for her to go over. But upon my recent echo cardiogram she spotted something unusual. Now, when I say unusual I don't mean like an unusual cancerous growth, I mean unusual in a good way.

She said to me, "Now I know you don't have any blood going to your left lung, but I do see a possible connection that we could pursue."

I said, "What do you mean?"

"Well, there seems to be some sort of connection that would possibly bring blood to that side."

I said, "My doctor's tried something back in 1995 but it was unsuccessful. Are you seeing the same thing?"

"Not sure, but from what I see there is something definitely there. I'm going to bring this to my surgeon team to have a look."

Basically what she told me then is that, first the team will have a meeting to discuss what she is seeing. If they agree with her findings we may proceed with a catherization to get a closer look at the situation. If all goes as it seems we could proceed then with a surgery. Perhaps for the first time in my life I would use both lungs!

She told me that many of her colleagues are in and out of the office so an answer probably won't come until the end of August. But something to be praying about anyway. Could be nothing, could be something amazing!

Apart from this she said that basically nothing has changed since my last check-up, which is good. I feel good and am in good health. Praise the Lord!
