making it possible for those of us now to get this done! The Electrophysiologist did not mention WPW but that must be what this is. He pointed out the node in my Right Ventricle. He had been on vacation and when he saw my referral and the passive way I was being moved through the process he got me in right away and minced no words with me. We are doing this or you will likely die and your heart failure now will look easy compared to where it is going.

The fact that you had 7 extra AV nodes blows my mind. I know how shitty I feel so I cannot even imagine how that felt. Those runs of tachycardia that you had are out of this world! My PVC's come in bigeminy or trigeminy but so far not a run like you have had. As an old ICU nurse I would have chased you down with the paddles a lot! My god.

I should have known. I have not been able to bend over without rising all out of breath and faint for a very long time. Walking in to rehearsals would leave me so winded I could hardly be ready to play. I had to give up my almost 50 years with my symphony because you cannot be a wind player without the wind. Not a great time in my life but I am glad to hear other stories. It will calm me some.

I hope your borrowed time lasts much much longer. Thank you so much.
