The Real Danger Of Marijuana

[csziggy]

23. My case came on gradually

I really started noticing a problem after I got my knees replaced in 2012. While I could walk without pain, I kept running out of breath or so it seemed. They sent me to an allergist thinking it was allergies and asthma. I kept trying to use the meds they gave me and work around the "breathing" problem.

It wasn't until Nov. 2016 that they heard the heart murmur. Then it wasn't until July 2017 that I could get all the tests needed to diagnose it properly. During one test I was recruited for a clinical trial for Trans Arterial Valve Replacement. The last test to get me into the trial was the one that found the kidney cancer. After that, it was emergency mode to get the valve replaced quickly so they could take the kidney out ASAP.

The cardio rehab guys called me between operations and I told them to just hold off until after I was cleared from the second operation.

It's tough to go through all this crap, isn't it? I'm tired of operations but not done with them. I just found out today I get to have a tooth surgically extracted. While they are at it, they will implant a post to hold a new fake tooth. Goody, something else to look forward to!
