Success! The heart test (TEE) that I missed because I lost my phone has been rescheduled for 5/20. This is the test that will determine whether I can have a clip inserted via a catheter, or if I need open heart surgery to replace the mitral valve. The Cardio Specialist is thinking valve replacement.

I have now successfully caught up on rescheduling all the appointments I missed and refilling the meds I ran out of. Meanwhile, I've managed to stay out of the hospital by restricting my fluid intake, taking my meds as I'm supposed to, and not exerting myself so that my BP and heat rate stay low.

What that looks like is staying in bed most of the time, watching shows or movies, and piddling around on my phone. I try not to react emotionally to the serious spouts on here but still speak my piece. And I try to have a little fun, too. Being busy means I'm not dwelling as much on my condition.
