Hey Everyone,

I know this isn't really relevant to CP forum.. but it's the pain that's also making my heart worse.. i'm seeing the heart surgeon tomorrow, and am pretty sure my last option will be surgery :( i only just had surgery to remove my appendix and part of intestines and ovary and fallopian tube nearly 2 weeks ago, and now they are thinking about open heart surgery already! Ahh just as i have final exams and so much coming up.. I want this all to stop just for a bit :( sorry to vent!

Hope you are all well xx

Hi honey

You poor girl, having to deal with all this.

Just wait until tomorrow and see what your heart surgeon has to say, then deal with it. You never know, it may be good news. He will be aware of all the surgery you have endured recently and I am sure he will hold off as long as he thinks he can. He will only do it if he thinks it is absolutely necessary. Hang on in there and never apologize for venting, that's what we are here for.

I will be thinking of you and praying for the best.

My dear friend

I know that it is hard to wait but really wait to see what the heart doc has to say and then go from there. It might not happen for awhile. You never know.

Please keep us updated because we love you.

I agree buttercup with the others, try not to panic. No point in stressing we know that's no good for us. Whatever happens you are a very strong person and with the help of a few friends to talk to you, you will ba able to handle it. Look back at what you have already donej, it's pretty spectacular isn't it.

Hi Buttercup I agree. Wait until tomorrow, and see what the surgeon has to say. It may not be right away that you will need the surgery. I wish well. Take care.

love and hugs

Wow! You've been through a lot!

It's good to vent, especially to people who can relate. Don't these doctors know that you need time to recover? It doesn't take a genius to figure THAT out.

I hope things get better for you soon!

Thanks everyone! Saw the cardiologist, surgery is the only option, will find out on monday whether they do a defibrillator implant or cardiac ablation. I will keep you updated, thank you for your support :)

And Heather, yeah I'm not sure why they are doing two surgeries close together, but my heart is getting dangerous, but then again my body won't cope with much more stress so could make my heart worse!! I'm sure they will make the safest decision :)

Love to you all! xx

Hi! Sorry to hear about the problems with your heart. I have the same problems. When I was in the hospital in June, the doctors told me there was a slight problem with my heart too, and they contributed it to the pain I was dealing with. They had like 4 different heart doctors come in and talk to me while I was there and at first they wanted me to stay and get some sort of surgery done while I was admitted, but then some old doctor came and checked me out and said it was unnecessary and to make an appt with one of his doctors later on. They put me on some heart medications when I left as well.

I am honestly not completely sure what is wrong with my heart, but if I did I would let you know. Sorry.

Am i the only one confused as to why Flower has left the forum but has commented on a post today??? Many people showed lots of compassion........

Jane, Buttercup had posted an update about her health and the validity of all of her past and ongoing issues were questioned. Yesterday it looked like she requested that entire post be removed and the screen name was changed.

I am hoping that she returns to clarify her situation no matter what it is. Jess (Buttercup) is such a positive and supportive person. Those who know her from the past or outside of HW will hopefully agree!

Thank you Shell, I really felt for her! I am a very soft compassionate person and just find it hard to believe that anyone would be dishonest on a forum like this.

I hope that she does help clarify her position. I would absolutely hate to think she had been turned away if she really was for real, I guess we will never really know. We just have to assume that people are genuine. I hope she comes back though, I hope she is not suffering. Hope you are doing well Shell, oops that rhymed,! Take care and have a great weekend

Jane...I think you may be confusing the two...The person who started this thread's member name was Buttercup...and has chosen to change their name and leave the forum.

Flower is another member we have that is completely different...but I can see where there would be confusion with the names:)

Oops, my sincere apologies, no offense meant to anyone. Getting mixed up seems to come with the territory these days!

Thank you Snowbunny for pointing that out.
