I don't like doing this post because it's about me this time.

Wednesday July 2nd I had to go to my VA Hospital for a special test on a problem that developed after my heart operation on July 4th 2005.

The operation was a huge success, however the problems afterward are not to good. Two weeks after the operation I had a stroke from a blood clot that caused blindness in my right eye. Then a year later I had another heart attack (which I'm told is normal in most cases) on July 5th 2006. Then February 2007 they told me I have 2 cysts, 1 on each kidney. They watched the cysts every 6 months. On June 24th I went back in for the kidney check up. They told me I had to have a Cat Scan on the 26th. Thats the fastest I ever seen the VA move. Then the call on the 27th was for this special test on July 2nd.

I took that test and early July 3rd my Doctor called me and told me that they found 4 more cysts and think there may be more. 2 of the new 4 are on my chest and show being aggressive. The 3rd is on my stomach and looks OK and the 4th cysts is in my right breast and that shows very aggressive.

So if I come across a little bitter and short please try to understand I am upset.

If you read my post the last few days you could see the anger in me.

Thank you for your support. I will try to continue as best I can.

July 8th I go in for the first stages of treatment for the kidneys and more tests.



If I may be so selfish and ask for your thoughts.
