Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and encouragement following my cardiac issues on Thursday, you really have been a huge help to me. I have to confess that I am struggling to get my head around it all and I'm incredibly scared and emotional. I spent this afternoon talking it all over with my parents and for the first time we all admitted out in the open just how scared we all are of what is happening to me. I am trying hard to stay positive but I just feel consumed by my fears at the moment. I am very tired of all the tests but I don't mind going through as many as needed to get to the bottom of this and hopefully get some help managing or controlling it. I think the hardest part for me is knowing how my GP has ignored this issue for so long telling me it was nothing to worry about....the cardiologists are horrified this hasn't been investigated properly. This Go has constantly told me he doesn't think it's anything important and the best of all was his statement that I have " too high an expectation of the medical profession for wanting to know what is causing this " !! I just can't help thinking that if he'd done his job I may not have ended up in collapsing and being told I probably had a dissection. Bitter? Too right I'm bitter..... Anyway, I am trying not to get wound up as he isn't worth putting myself back in hospital with another attack of whatever is wrong with my heart. But it is hard not to feel angry. Thanks again for all of your care, consideration and wonderful support - it means the world to me. Love and hugs....Jo xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Thanks Debbi, you're kind thoughts mean so much especially when I know you are coping with such a lot right now too. I hope you are feeling a bit better today and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am defintely going to do something about my GP by the way, he has gone way too far this time. Jill, thank you as ever for you support and encouragement - I honestly think i would ahve cracked up completely had I not found you and the wonderful CEDA group you so lovingly and generously provide. I too wish we lived closer so I could thank you in person for all you do. Thank you for the gorgeous postcard I received this morning too, it really cheered my day. And here's hoping we can share those site seeing trips and of course the hugs one day :-) Take care my dear friends and know that In spite of what happens to my body I know that I am an incredibly lucky and blessed person. Love and hugs....Jo xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Jo - here are some hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Praying that the cardiologists are able to help. Sounds like it's time to look for a new GP - that does seem to be a very hard but very important job for us to do.
