Teachamy 1,042 Posted July 28, 2013 I was 5 days away from my surgery when I was diagnosed aith A. Fib. There's a problem with my heart rhythm, and I'm now on 2 more medications, my surgery has to be cancelled, and I am in line for many more tests in the coming weeks. I am trying to look on the bright side of things. Had this problem not been found, I could have likely had a stroke before, during, or after surgery. (and I am 39) Please send good thoughts my way that this can be remedied and that no other heart problems are found. Naybe I can still have the surgery someday?

notime 340 Posted July 28, 2013 You have an amazing and wonderful perspective on this. I hope the treatment and testing work out and that you will be able to have surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futureloser 190 Posted July 28, 2013 I have had 2 iepisodes of AFib. I was able to have a successful surgery and I hope the same for you. We complain about the time it takes to have these tests done - we want to get on with our surgery- but this very well may have saved your life. Everything happens for a reason!!

Teachamy 1,042 Posted July 28, 2013 They always say the Lord works in mysterious ways. His plan may not be what I hope it will be. Maybe it's blasphemous or insulting to say this to strangers, but I am not sure I have such blind faith. My father died of heart disease at 47. My baby daughter died of HELLP Syndrome at 4 days of life. Great blessings have come to me in my life, as has unimaginable pain. If there is a plan out there for me, I am hoping I will be rewarded for trying to end the comorbidities that plague me, and this new damn heart condition too.
