Cardiac
Intervention from a Patient's Perspective
|
I know from personal experience
how scary the thought of having Cardioversion or Open-heart Surgery can
be. I also know how little information is available on what these
things mean from a patient's perspective; i.e. what it's like from the
vantage point of someone who's been through it. It is my hope, by
sharing my experiences here, that I can help others avoid some of the
fear, anxiety and pitfalls I suffered through over the past several
years. Please feel free to Email
me should you have any specific questions, concerns or comments
about the site.
Update:
19-Sept-2009
To my great
amazement, Emails keep coming in from fellow cardiac patients,
or the loved ones of cardiac patients, commenting about this site, telling me
how much it has helped them, and relaying their own personal experience with
problems and procedures talked about here. Many of these Emails have also expressed
concern about my state of health and offered words of encouragement. I
don't have words to express how happy this has made me. It has, however,
made me feel a tad guilty for not maintaining it better (the last update was
done four years ago). Some recent events have renewed my commitment to the website
and I promise to do a better job of maintaining it in the future as long as
I possibly can. On that note, to see what has been happening to me health wise
and for information on some of my related activities, observations, etc., click
