My Medical Update

Back in August I had a Gated Pool Heart Scan at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. The results have turned out to be encouraging. My ejection factor is now at 41%, which at least buts me in the the "Below Normal" range, but certainly not on death's door.

I have seen Professor Kilborn again, and despite his best efforts and offers, have declined a defibrillator for the present. Given my improvement he doesn't want to see me again.

I still have to have an aortic valve MRI in about March, but Dr. Hendel has retired and the practice has been split up. So I will need to get Dr. Patel to recommend someone to me. Hopefully, this will be all pretty normal.

I will be seeing Dr. Patel in early January.
