Huge Heart 2007

In 2007, I plan to do more research for my condition and build on the information that I already have on Huge Heart. I would like to write a section on defibrillators and eventually start a forum for visitors to ask questions. If someone has a suggestion please e-mail me, obviously I would like to make the most user-friendly website that I can.

My last post was almost two months ago--I just took a break to fully recover from the surgery and deal with the holidays. I wish I had blogged during my recovery period, however, the recovery was just resting my left arm so the swelling would go down in my chest--there really wasn't much to tell.

I feel 100% at this point, I had a 2-month restriction on what I could lift and how I could move my arm but that is officially over tomorrow.

My Grandfather always told me that his defibrillator was the best thing he had ever done for his health, I agree. It obviously has not saved my life yet, but I am confident based on the statistics that it will someday--if I need it. Just knowing that you have a small emergency room in your chest gives you a great deal of comfort with your heart condition. Another great thing is that it's small, you cannot even tell its inside your chest--I forget its there. Also, these devices are going to be even more advanced in years to come--they are supposed to go wireless.

Just remember that there is always something you can do to better yourself and your health. If you have a heart condition and you are looking at getting a defibrillator, do not hesitate to get it even if you don't need the device like me--it was a great investment. It can only help.
