Finally get my ICD implanted tomorrow at Tuft's. Dr. Maron wants to do another stress echo prior to the ICD procedure. I have to say these HCM Centers are thorough. While Dallas was on track with the myectomy other things were caught by Dr. Maron to include the need for an ICD and the MRI showed severe scarring which could be the reasons for my symptoms. The big Kahuna (myectomy ) is scheduled for July 14 with Dr. Rastergar. The ICD will be a breeze compared to the big one. To all thanks for your support and understanding through out this ordeal.
Funny another post mentioned family members not accepting this disease. Have seen my extended family on several occasions during these last few weeks while on the east coast. I have heard it all about my condition from it's the humidity, you are getting old, we all have SOB, you need to breathe through your nose.. LOL (my mother in law). I come from a very healthy family and I guess it is hard for everyone to accept. You gotta laugh and kiss the ground every morning.
