So now you have heart disease.

Whether it be a Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Stents, Bypasses, Aneurysms, Ablations, Irregular Heart Rhythms, or any other form of Heart Disease...do you have someone that you can discuss issues with as they arise, or as you anticipate them? Is your family actively involved with you in this quest for long term survival? Or...do you find coming to a forum like this more helpful?

Where do you find a little comfort and answers?

Hugs, Teri

I just wait till the family gets together so we can compare procedures,stents,problems of anykind and see who is the sickest at the moment.most of us have it so we all talk to each other.

Hi Ricky!! :)

You're not at the game tonight? lol

Re discussing health issues, that's great that you can all talk together, but I am sorry that all of ya'll have so many cardiac issues in your family! This speaks more of heredity...same in my family.

Big Bunches of Hugs!! Teri :)

I've spent a lot of time recently listening to a friend tell detailed stories of taking her niece and new baby to doctor appointments, very detailed, right down to how many kids she winked at and how hard it is to park. When I mentioned I had had three appts. this week, would she like to know about them, she changed the subject. Looking for new friends! The forums are more helpful.
