Wow it has been 10 months today since the Heart Attack....what a relief. During my month of down time the end of this year seemed so far away. Thankfully it was more in my head than anything else. We have survived.
I had a doctors appointment at Cedars last week and now my next shceduled appointment is in March (Officially over the 1 year mark!). Apparently the year mark is everything for the heart. Your heart does the majority of its recovery in that year, so it has been a very long waiting game. Come March the doctor thinks we will be looking at antoher Cardiac MR, but has agreed that we need to keep my radiation exposure down. It is exciting to be at the end of the healing to really see what all I am capable of:)
Thus far setbacks have been minimal. I had a bad incidence of blood loss as a result of the coumadin, so I am currently on Iron and hopefully this was just a one time deal!! Otherwise my body seems to be hanging in there, which is very encouraging. As a result I am just looking forward to the holidays and the new year. I hope that 2010 has a little less to offer (with regards to medical needs), but I am excited to be putting 2009 behind me. Officially time to move on!
