Kinda "Good News"! I'm in too good shape to be considered for the transplant list.
Thr Dr. was very up beat and brutally frank, about my codition.
Yeah, I've still got problems, but not to the point where he wants to switch out parts. Said it was better to keep what I have and work with that until things get a lot worse.
The main thing they're worried about is the pressures that build up in the heart and lungs. don't want them getting any higher. So we'll work on that.
That means no heavy lifting, no pitching hay bales, no chainsawing overhead (said I could run chainsaw if I were careful, but not to cut myself with it), I can still run my tractors, just have someone help me hook up the heavy implements.
He said just be real careful at what weights I pick up and handle. Continue on with life and be careful.
I've still got a couple more physical tests to do this week and next, plus I'll have to wear a monitor for 24 hrs. After he gets those results he'll maybe modify or change some of my meds and monitor my progress form now on.
I asked about shooting my bow. First thing he ask was what was the wt of pull, when I told him 60-65# he said becareful. Then he asked if it were a compound and I told him no that it was a REAL BOW! He laughed and said to be careful, but he'd rather me not pull more than 50#. So I guess I'll either cut mine down or build another one.
If the weather is good I plan on heading to the Spring Fling, at Tannehill this weekend.
Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I'm sure thats what got me this far and will keep me headed on the right path.
So continues the adventure!
