Update on Paul:
As a number of you are aware, I was diagnosed with a mitral valve heart problem mid summer. I met with a surgeon in mid Sept and I was put in the queue for January surgery. This was all good news - the genetic problem was diagnosed without a triggering incident, the recovery rate from the surgery is high....
I spent a very enjoyable month in Europe in Sept/Oct (Parma, Florence, Venice, Berlin). On my return I was queued up for some pre-op tests. One of them, an angiogram, resulted in both some post- procedure complications and a call for changes in my meds. This sent in motion a round of tests, meetings with specialists accompanied by a general worsening in my condition.
On Tues the 29th my GP sent me to ER at VGH and from there I was admitted to the Cardio Ward where I remain. Lots of tests have failed to uncover any additional problems beyond the previously diagonosed micral valve.
From what I can intuit, the current thinking is to keep me here until I can go in for the surgery (Thurs has been mentioned as a possibiliy a couple of times). It is likely I'll be moved to the 10th Floor Heart unit at VGH pre surgery and I expect testing will be gearing up again
Given my generally dishelved state and the ongoing activity surrounding me, not receiving visitors for now seems the prudent course. I'm happy to talk with folks and if you would be so inclined, by all means try my call phone. I'll do by best to call back if I can't pick right away.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone for your good wishes. It means a lot to know you are out there pulling for me. Love....Paul
