Annie - I'm glad you're OK. I ironically came to this thread to tell you I was looking at the picture pages and wanted to tell you how great you looked but didn't want it to get buried.
Take good care of yourself you'll figure out what you'd like to do besides the teaching... maybe you can teach others in the classroom environment about something fitness related?
Annie-I know what you are feeling right now. I remember a cardiologist sending me home to die. There are lots of things that go through your mind when all you can do is lie in a hospital bed. After having the heart cath was especially hard because you aren't allowed to move. Try not to worry. I know that is easier said than done. Have faith, and know that we are all praying for you.
Annie -- Thanks so much for posting. What an ordeal!! Please please do get a second opinion. And remember that medicine less of a science than we think. You've had this your whole life and have come this far!! Those doctors might not know a thing!
Annie...i am soo sorry to hear about what happened to you but like heather said do get a second opinion ok and please let us know how you are doing cause we all care about you here and you are in all our prayers
I'm glad you let us know what happened. Wow is all I can say. I also believe a 2nd opinion is warranted. Many times, people with small vessels also make additional blood vessels to compensate for the lack of blood flow. A decent cardiologist will check out any damage and also check out how your body has compensated.
Annie I'm so sorry to hear about what has happened to you. That must be so scary to go through *HUGS HUGS.* I am glad you're getting a second opinion, you totally need and deserve one. Heck, you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and RESPECT. Thinking of you, will light a candle for you and send healing and good vibes your way.
